Show Notes
If the federal government's Online News Act passes, then don't count on reading news articles from Facebook or Instagram. In an email written by Meta (the parent company of the popular social media sites), they say that the decision would place the company in an untenable position, given that it would have to pay for news content to appear on their platforms. Is this the way to go? Alex speaks to an expert on this, as well as all the other day's topics on today's episode of the Alex Pierson Show.
