    What do you mean? The same people who get “news” from Facebook will still get “news” from Facebook. It will just no longer involve any actual media companies. Think blogger, pseudo-news and AI generated content - fake news gonna fake.

        My point is with this legislation we effectively removed news outlets from the “source pool”, and all the remaining sources you can rely on Facebook is the questionable ones.
