“The world is constantly changing and publishers, like everyone else, have

to adapt. Asking a social media company in 2023 to subsidize news

publishers for content that isn’t important to our users is like asking

email providers to pay the postal service because people don’t send

letters any more.”        bit.ly/459s5Kv
