Zero. They can’t.

The Federal Trade Commission is talking about using the iron boot of government to “to support the reinvention of journalism,” whatever the fruit that means. Jeff Jarvis writes, “Most dangerous of all, the FTC considers a doctrine of “proprietary facts,” as if anyone should gain the right to restrict the flow of information just as the information is opening it up. Copyright law protects the presentation of news but no one owns facts — and if anyone did, you could be forbidden from sharing them. How does that serve free speech?”

But don’t worry much. They barely recommend anything, and I don’t think they can write any laws. (via Books, Inq.)
