    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
