But the news org provides that summary with the page to Facebook... it's part of the Open Graph Protocol which... is for facebook. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_Platform#Open_Graph_protocol
Lets look at the source of a CBC News story.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid-variant-ba-2-86-1.6943005
So if the news companies are upset that Facebook is showing a summary... maybe stop providing a summary to facebook explicitly in your code?
Whoa, whoa. We spent good money on developers to add OpenGraph support to our news platform in order for us to have full control over what is shown on Facebook. Now you want us to just throw that away? Do you know how much software developer time costs? There must be a better solution. What if, and hear me out... Facebook paid us to use that work we did?
