Yeah, no worries man, what’s the big deal?

The Silicon Valley corporations you mentioned all are worth billions. They can afford royalty fee schemes for using / redistributing copyright content.
Little guy alternate media news sites / political activist sites like FR, Town Hall, and others we rely on would find content use and sharing royalty fees to be hugely burdensome.

RE: “Yeah, it would put Facebook, Instagram, Reddit and Twitter out of business as well. I wouldn’t worry too much.”

Twitter is almost out of business. Increased fees will put the rest of them out of business.

You don’t think Zuckerburg wants to pay HIS profits for copyright fees. They will lobby hard against it,
