One of the hilarious things going on is that the big capital-owned news companies in Canada decided that they wanted some of Facebook's money.

So they bribed the Canadian politicians into writing a copyright law which requires that anyone who links to the big capital-owned news companies pay those big capital-owned media conglomerates money for every link.

😆 🤣

Obviously Facebook then just stopped allowing their users to do that, because they don't even want their users to leave Facebook and go to news company websites anyway. It's the users that wanted to be able to link like that.

😆 🤣 And now.. And now..🤣 😆

For reasons not unrelated to the corporate/capital capture of law and sovereignty, all of Canada is in fire.

People are trying to tell their friends on Facebook about how they have to immediately leave the town because it's going to burn down and they are all going to die.

But they are trying to do so by linking to the local capital-owned news media conglomerate's web-pages.

But doing that isn't allowed any more because, the news media conglomerates demand payment for that sort of thing, backed up by genuinely paid-for "democratic" bribery to the Canadian political parties.

😆 🤣 And now.. And now..🤣 😆

The Canadian government is today demanding that Facebook allow the linking even though it's the Canadian government's laws that tax and so forbid it.

😆

This timeline is so fucking cursed. There is nothing I hate more than Facebook being right.
