Australia wants to force anybody who shares any news related link to trigger some type of payment to the news organization.

This breaks the internet. Forced payments for posting links? Insanity.

If Australia had its way the fact that this conversation started with a link to a news article would trigger admin to owe money.

Google went along with it. They don't care, it's just chump change to them. So they agreed to some payment. It's just chump change to the Zuckerberg too. But he ain't giving in.

He's right. He shouldn't.
