> awareness that big tech's stranglehold over our media is a problem.

The legacy consolidated news organizations getting a sweet free new revenue stream are glad that they've been able to convince so many people that big tech linking to them is actually a "stranglehold" and a problem!

Well, while I am not saying this is incorrect, I also fail to see why US mega-corporations should proxy-control europeans.

I trust neither involved side here, ever since the EU tries to push for age snifing and abolishing VPNs. At the same time US corporations ruin a LOT of the world wide web, and that continues. I don't think we need to accept this anylonger. Out with them.

You're missing both points here. I don't think they're going to get a sweet free new revenue stream. I think they're going to get less traffic.

And the stranglehold is not big tech over the newspapers, but big tech over the internet.
