Proposed Illinois Measure Requires Social Media Companies to Pay News Outlets – WRAM (Monmouth)

A proposal in Illinois to have social media companies pay media outlets that link to their content is being called a “link tax” by some, but fair compensation by others. Senate Bill 3591 would set up a structure for online news outlets to negotiate with social media platforms to get compensated when someone shares a news story on their news feed.

Another step closer to a media wholly owned by one entity. Not good.
