  • I'm not refusing to "get" anything, this is just a well-worn argument that's been tested. Yes, there will be people who scroll past but the net outcome is still more clicks into the website. Literally the same thing has happened in other countries. Spain tried to do the same thing and lobbied the government to enact a very similar law, Google news pulled out, and then the news organizations started seeing drops in their revenues and they had to persuade the government to reverse decisions. What do you think is going to happen here? In the end everything will go back to the way it was, except some lobbyists and lawyers will be richer and Canadians/Australians will be inconvenienced by having one less news aggregator to use for a period of time.

    Can't go to the bathroom more than once per class? OK, I'll just stand outside the classroom.

    I have a story that kinda fits! Never shared this before, but I'm sure many people have experienced something similar.

    Anyway, this was long ago in kindergarten. We had one teacher who, for some strange reason, hated it when kids went to the toilet. She'd track who went to the toilet and ask us kindergardeners things like "didn't you just go when I came in" or "why do you always need to go when I'm teaching".

    Oh and this is necessary context for later - our classrooms had louvered, transparent windows along the corridor, and the windows were usually kept open, so you could look in easily from the corridor.

    Some of us figured out that it was easier to hold your crotch and make a pained expression every time we needed to go. We'd just say "I really need to go" and hop around and she'd relent. But after a few too many people did that she got angry and declared that nobody could go to the bathroom twice in her class and started writing down the names of kids who went to the bathroom. If your name was on the board you couldn't leave the classroom again.

    So one day, one of my brilliant classmates asked to go to the toilet, then brought his workbook and pencil out with him. When he came back, he stood outside the classroom listening to the teacher.

    Our teacher asked him to come in. He said "but if I come in, I can't go to the toilet later."

    Of course the teacher made him come in and changed the rules after that. But I'd like to think this kid became a lawyer.
