Such a bill would only prevent social media sites from officially linking or posting to news (assuming it was found legal at all). Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act immunizes internet sites from content posted by their users, so this would include links to external news articles.
I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish here anyway. How many people only read news articles because it was in their Facebook feed? Do they really think someone is going to subscribe to the LA Times simply because they stop getting served up their articles in Facebook?
More likely that Blackrock and Vanguard decided to stop subsidizing it.
Probably explains the huge ramp up of firing these divisions from major companies. When they actually have to foot the bill turns out they don't want to.
Many countries have, each one more retarded than the last. Go to any one of these news sites and look at the page source. If it's not a complete shitshow of a text block, you'll probably find a 'type="application/ld+json"' script tag in there. That's the website deliberately making it easier to embed the article preview in a website like Google or Facebook, because the news sites need the linkers more than the linkers need them.
Oh no! Whatever will we do if the main cable and print news organizations don't have their headlines spammed all over the internet anymore?

I wouldn't be surprised if the EU has something like this already
look up eu article 11 link tax. adding link tax to the end will get you some results that cut the bullshit a bit.

A bit later in the US, as usual, but still all following the NWO manifest.
