    There’s no tax requirement. They’re required to come to an agreement with the news outlets to compensate them.

      Sure, and they chose the option of not imposing any costs on those news sites by linking to them; thus making sure that there’s nothing to compensate them for.

        It’s more the idea of FB not generating ad revenue of their news content and thus not having to compensate them (rather than about adding cost burdens to the outlets). No specific taxes involved though. It’s similar to the Australian model.
