Dear tech writers: Please stop calling bill C-18 a “link tax”.
First, because it’s not a tax at all! None of the money goes to the gov’t.
Second, because it has nothing to do with links, and everything to do with search giants displaying news articles without compensating the journalists that write them.
This is a labour vs monopoly power issue, not a govt vs tech startup issue.
