Basically, the TL;DR is that linking sources is going to require a tax a large tax in the EU, effectively killing the free market in journalism.

....thats not what gdpr is about? it has nothing to do with linking sources? its just a (bad) attempt at protecting personal data

edit: at least, the article you linked talks nothing about this source linking stuff. can you clarify where you drew this conclusion?

Mainstream journalism isn't as deep in stuff as startup journalists and online-only media.

why do you get upset at all laws that are supposed to protect consumers lol

[thegoodperry]

Under the new rules, companies must clearly ask for consumer's consent to harvest data, so they have to actively "opt-in" and be informed how their data is being used and for what purpose.

Those in breach of GDPR can be fined up to four percent of annual global turnover. And users who no longer want their personal data processed have the right to be forgotten and have their data deleted.

democracy is truely dead. we are now living in an orwellian nightmare... gamers, pay respects

so what it looks like here is you took some Youtube 'news' pundit's opinion and put it side-by-side with an article from actual journalists which doesn't actually claim anything about taxes

muy dishonest, matholomew

[thegoodperry]

anyone who gets their news from some random youtuber basically has no opinion at all

"i dont trust MSM" but the youtuber you're watching gets all his sources from MSM.... hmmmmm

[Remurr]

yeah no they aren't matthew

EDIT: ok i did some digging and i don't think matthew is talking about the GDPR, despite linking to an article about the GDPR. oops. i did, however, find this which does mention a "link tax": https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180525/10072939912/forget-gdpr-eus-new-copyright-proposal-will-be-complete-utter-disaster-internet.shtml
