Gregory's Server@mastodonmigration I disagree Google is doing enshittification here. Other examples are platforms shittifying their projects after success, but Google here is responding to a new law (i.e. external event) here. FWIW I agree with Google that a link tax breaks how the internet should work and should not be celebrated and I think they did the right thing here (Meta is a little different because they tend to embed more copyrighted content whereas Google mostly just show a link with minimal embed).

@brothercheng agreed. Google and Facebook are responding to an awful law that breaks the internet. It won’t last though - Canada will repeal the law just like Spain did to avoid tanking their news providers. Google and Facebook are evil, they just happen to be right about this issue. |

I think Google’s advertising monopoly has broken “how the internet should work”
If that idealism ever worked beyond the back of a napkin
Especially when confronted by billions of dollars itching to be accumulated in post-1980s trickle-up economies
