Words of spiteful relatives when they found you won the lottery.

"Your" data didn't built ChatGPT. It's trained on publicly available data that can be found on the Internet. Case point, if you give ChatGPT your name, it can't use that to tell you info about yourself.

Don't be like Disney and stake claims on public domain data.

Yyuuuppp. Came here to say this. I've been a web dev since before mobile responsive was a thing. I miss the "User comes first" outlook. Now, job applications scream for devs who understand good user experience. Then, when you start working on a project, there's some user experience concerns, but it all gets thrown out the window for the sake of ads, pop-ups, whatever. I've had so many heated discussions in meetings about the trashing of UX.

They should "regulate tech as they see fit"?

Even when it might potentially violate international trade agreements like CUSMA, international treaties like the Berne Convention, and go against their own supreme court's decision on how limiting linking in any way would be against people's freedom of expression?

This is not about "regulating tech", this is taking a sledgehammer to one of the major pillars of the internet in order to enrich media corporations.

No one in their right mind, should be falling for a short-sighted, computer illiterate government's attempt to take advantage of the hate against google & facebook in order to mandate payments for linking and deliver boatloads of cash to their allies in the broadcasting sector (which stands to get 75% of the money, even if they don't produce any news at all).
