    Because most people don’t click, they just read the summary of the article in their feed. They’re claiming that aggregators don’t share revenue from summarized articles.

      Yet all the major news sites I checked provided Open Graph content.

      In case you don’t know, Open Graph was created by Facebook to give publishers control over what information is displayed on Facebook when a news resource is introduced into their system.

      If you don’t want Facebook to display that content, knowing it means you won’t see the traffic, why explicitly provide and denote it for their use? Open Graph content isn’t naturally occurring. These news companies are going out of their way to tell Facebook exactly what they want shown.

      Is this simply a case of the top brass spending too much time in Ottawa and not enough time talking to the technical people?
