    No, I don’t think so, as Lemmy doesn’t integrate the news directly, and is not profiting off of it.

    The Online News Act requires both companies to enter into agreements with news publishers to pay them for news content that appears on their sites if it helps the tech giants generate money.

      I mean couldn’t this apply if there were ads added to the site or app? I suppose it depends on how broad the language in the law is.
