Google and commercial news is fine - advertising is a big chunk but Google have other products and commercial news still sells paper and has television slots. Legislation will not kill them.
Neither Facebook or Twitter have a sustainable model and will fall in time. They don't actually do much of value really apart from enslave people into walled gardens full of noise and bombard them with advertising.
If you put all your eggs in the advertising basket, get pumped on VC cash and act like a dick, yes you will lose billions.

Those of us who have a real product and earn from that, it's not a problem. We'll be here in 10 years. We were 10 years ago (in fact we started in '92). Empires have risen and fallen in our time. We have never advertised at all.
I appreciate you don't like ads; I'm not a big fan either (not that this is what the law is about). But consider the implications of it not becoming viable.
And for the record my company doesn't advertise anything. We just want to be able to use non-invasive features of the Internet like every other country.
