    The Government telling meta and Google they’d have to pay to link has led to this entirely predictable result, and the companies said they would block links since very early on in the process. Independent experts (e.g., Michael Geist) also said that C18 was a bad idea.

    It’s ridiculous to complain about someone complying with laws that you (the government) drafted and passed.
