    I'm a bit confused who everybody is mad at over this? Mad at FB for refusing to pay for original content and thus threatening or actually shutting off service to strong arm the Government, or mad at Governments holding FB to account to adequately remunerate business for original content?

    That used to happen in Bermuda until the natural predator for the crabs was reintroduced. Yellow crowned night heron.
