New blog post! 🚀

A few months ago a media org demanded a license fee for an open graph image I linked. I paid the fee because I was worried, but it raises serious questions about open graph usage on the web!

This goes through how it went and my thoughts.

@accudio thanks for sharing this. It sucks, but I agree it’s hard to argue against their request.

Decided to take down my Twitter archive after seeing this. It’s nice to have a backup of all my posts from “the before times”, but having them live doesn’t do me any favours these days. Maybe a simple copyright disclaimer on the archive website would be enough?

@accudio Ps. £800 for a sick blog post like this is kinda a good deal tho 😄
