- The beaver is Canada which passed a law required the big Tech companies pay Canadian news companies for content they post on their platforms and receive ad revenue from. Facebook and Google are acting all butt hurt and refusing to post news content in Canada instead of paying for it.

  This is what I don't get. They already pay ad rev portions or whatever to video creators. So why is it so hard to pay ALL the content creators based on ad rev?

  How is it not mutually benificial?
