Arianity ,

@pluralistic the goal of bargaining codes isn't "must carry", but rather "must pay". If FB has to pay say $1B regardless of the content, then it has no incentive/leverage to block news as it's now doing in Canada. It pays regardless. That said you could probably achieve the same result with Article5, but it's harder

(I think the article also underestimates strict scrutiny and/or common carrier laws to get around 1A. They're unlikely/problematic solutions, but it's not insurmountable) 2/2
