Basically sites facebook have been demanding news media sites to put more and more of their news stories into the summary preview. This is the internet, you know most people generally don't bother reading the articles. If there's a summary, it's even more unlikely they'll click to read the article. But if no one clicks through to the news site, they don't load the ads there so the news site gets no money. They are loading ads on facebook, which is where they're reading the article.

The news sites can't refuse facebook because facebook controls so much internet traffic.

So the government steps in and requires facebook to share some ad revenue with the news sites. Facebook gets made and takes their ball home and isn't displaying news at all now.

openmedia is upset because the news sites they represent aren't also going to get facebook ad revenue like other news sites. So basically "we want money too! sign this petition because government bad, big media bad!"

My concern is I don't want news sites (like the ones Ezra Levant runs) that exist solely to spread disinformation with a political agenda to profit off of this.

Obviously it's more complex than that, but that's the gist of it.
