News sites have long pushed for regulations that would require companies like Google and Facebook to pay for excerpting and linking news articles, so part of me wonders if this is an intentional policy to avoid being held liable for paying, in turn, their sources of information should those regulations ever come to pass. Deeply funny to me, honestly.
I think Guywithabike is saying that phys.org doesn't want to have to pay Greenpeace for citing them, should that future come to pass of Google paying news sources for snippets.
Thank you, this is enormously helpful for having some context to add to discussions.
I've talked to a lot of people in recent years who have seen these headlines and concluded that all recycling, including aluminum and paper products, is actually a lie. We really need more clarity around the recycling situation so people stop drawing their only conclusions from random headlines.
My understanding is that aluminum is actually recycled at a pretty high rate. Metal stock has more value to begin with and the process of remelting do not degrade the metal the way that plastics are.
