Argument is that when sites like Facebook link news articles people just read the autogenerated preview and move on, meaning the original article gets zero interaction or revenue. Proponents say the link tax is aimed to try and make the big news aggregators like twitter and facebook pay the original content creators if their platform hosts such links in the future. Critics say it's the last scream of a dying industry and that the link tax is unenforceable and limits free speech in order for big businesses to turn a profit. Hope this clears it up a bit

All these old white-haired men and women deciding on the future of a tool predominately used by the next-generation. Nice.

Maybe the next-generation should stop voting them in then. We are consistently the least likely demographic to show up at the polling booths across the board, so why would the career politicians give a shit about their views or future? It's not like they are going to see any sort of backlash in support - we don't fucking show up anyway.

that might be relevant but in no way is that the key reason this is happening lol, plus the only candidates that represent young people are outside of the left-right circus running as independents picking up 10% of the vote with no hope of winning. what u highlight is the symptom, the cause for disenfranchisement of the young is related to a vast difference between what generations consider important. i only see it changing when the boomers all die off

What I highlight is a solution. I feel just a disenfranchised as you, but there are alternative political options out there. The politicians represent who voted them in. The older generation vote, therefore the older generation get representation, unfortunately resulting in career politicians who are asked to legislate on a relatively new medium they are ignorant of. If you want things to change you have to actively try to make that change occur, instead of waiting a few decades for you to become that older generation. That way of thinking only perpetuates the issue.
