We will avoid Canadian stupidity

The NZ media convinced the outgoing Government that they somehow have a divine right to advertising revenue and Facebook and Google should be taxed to fund NZ media. This is what has occurred in Canada, and the result was the tech giants said the benefit from stories being promoted on social media benefits the media far far more than the tech companies. So they turned off the ability to share Canadian news on social media.

The result was a huge revenue drop for the media, and now the Government is bailing them out. This is what Labour wanted to implement in NZ!
