    I’m not entirely sure how one could create a internet of interconnected computers and servers without links to one another and the webpages they serve.

    Short of maybe making one “central hub” controlled by one state/entity. Though this would probably not turn out great.

      I think public search engines is a good idea though it would be multiple states

      I suppose it’s because I’m old so I don’t like how centralized and profit driven the internet has become but I see nothing wrong with profit sharing with websites on pages where their link is used

          I see the law as a step not the end and would rather further the reaches of the legislation than repeal it

          As per blocking referrals I feel the issue is more the title and blurb stops people from clicking through as is. Hence the legislation

          If Facebook wasn’t allowed to show more than just a link then they would react in a similar manner

          Lemmy has a similar issue of people only reading the title or what the person said about a link

            Lemmy was never known as Usenet.

                I guess you’re just too smart for people to understand.
