"Real-time" listening claims were exaggerated, but the creepy factor remains.
First half, a pathetic performance by lobbyist for Canada's legacy newspaper hedge funds justifying the end result of their C-18 baksheesh bill. Google comes off well. Facebook traffic to news is forever lost thanks to them. Net: likely worse off.
