Now when I open a Google map link my wife sent from messenger, messenger opens a copy of maps inside messenger that doesn’t work half the time. Is that excluded from link tax?
When musks puts unskippable ads to go to content instead of reading it almost in its entirety right on the site (with an ad besides it), is that also link tax?
Enshitification of links is what will break the internet. Musk would be the first to sue for this.
I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:
People in Canada can’t view this content.
Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.
These previews are almost always specified by the website themself, using the OpenGraph protocol. The website is literally asking other services to “use this for the preview’s image, and this block of text for the description, please!”
