I can see a logic to it... It's likely that content providers will be under some pressure to suppress certain kinds of information. If you control the content of the bundle it makes compliance easy... In theory, they protect their revenue while staying out of the eye of the fascists...

Absolutely BONKERS announcement from ProQuest/Clarivate this morning. Our entire acquisitions strategy is being upended with this change. Fewer choices for content providers, fewer options for digital ownership, further erosion of the first sale doctrine, and MONOPOLIES ARE BAD FOR LIBRARIES!!!
