That certainly does sound like a problem for Facebook, and that’s why they told Canada to fuck off and stopped publishing Canadian news.
That doesn’t make it right, and it’s certainly pretty shitty on that part of Facebook, who could easily afford to pay for the content that they make so much money from.
What I can imagine is a fair and equitable ecology of media sharing. While some commercial producers - as well and indie ones - would offer their content for free linking (perhaps with a daily/weekly quota), others may work out mass licensing deals with the platform owner. , Even many more others may work out, individualized compensation agreements that fall somewhere in between.
So, FB would pay an annual licensing fee to all of the content producers whose content it profits from.
FB is already built on hundreds of more complex systems that the one required for tracking license payment obligations.
