I'm with the Zucc on this one. Facebook is a platform, they are not in charge of the content that gets published on there. Anybody can post anything at anytime. If people want to share news articles on there, they do so on their own. Why would Facebook pay media companies money for the actions of their users? It hurts their business? Fuck them and their business, it's a new economy. You either adapt or die. If these multibillion dollar corporations haven't been able to milk social media then that's their problem. They're not entitled to Facebook's revenue regardless of how much you or I hate it.
This just sounds like the dying traditional media industry is trying to leech off of the success of others in order to cling on to dear life. Fuck em.
