Being forced to pay to host a link is just not how the internet should or does work.

For example, this (https://www.axios.com/2023/06/01/meta-california-pull-news-threat) article talks about and links to Google and Meta, so it should have to pay them with this logic.

Meta threatens to pull news from its apps in California

History suggests that it's not an empty threat.

@IcyShark Right.

News media should also have to pay the politicians, accident victims, and owners of dogs from funny dog stories. Why should they be able to publish details of people's lives for free?
