They didn't "boot" news sites. News sites got a law passed that completely broke the internet by requiring sites to pay for the privilege of doing them the service of linking to their news content. You can't pretend they're stealing from you by displaying the content you explicitly ask them to display, then also say they're fucking you over by not displaying your content in response to you claiming that linking to it is stealing from you.
The only issue with this (outside of the fact that it's still on a Facebook service, which means it's impossible for it to be justifiable to use) is that the setting isn't "zero" instead of "limited".
