Why not? We the posters are providing free content and views and exposure for a VC fund worth billions of dollars.

#5It so nice to see megacorps not being allowed to whatever they like as in the US. The EU has regulations and standards. If you don't follow them you can't just try to sue the body. Just follow the rules like you're supposed to. It's quite simply really.

Do you think Meta is asked to pay for the titles?

Why do they show Italian news before?

They already did this with Canada.
Meta decided to stop showing news links in Canada. [1]
Presumably, it would choose the same thing here.

Sounds ridiculous, but yes. They earn "something" via their exclusive advertisement spots here.
I guess the daily active users are something else though.
