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.
We have the same idiotic idea in europa now thanks to the disastrous EU copyright reform with #Uploadfilter and #Linktax .
EU and german digital policy is a 100 % shit show with zero regard for user rights or what should be reasonable regulation.
Best thing that could happen is that most EU regulation in the last 20 years or so be deleted for it achieved nothing of any value for the cizizens of europe.
