- Comment on [🇨🇭|Switzerland] Google, X/Twitter and Other Online Services are Set to Pay Copyright Fees for Displaying Short Extracts From Newspaper Articles. 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely correct, Canadian Newspaper pulled the same thing, but they also blocked social media sites from sharing or posting links to their sites, blaming the links were “summarized”. Their argument was the links were being summarized and users were not visiting the Newspapers website.
So social media sites blocked all links of Canadian news, then Newspapers cried foul after a drop in traffic.
Funny enough when you see a summarized link, such as ones that show a picture and maybe a sentence, the content shown in that summary is directly controlled by the site being linked.

That happened in Canada as well a while back.
Funny story though, web extracts that become visible when you share a link for example on a social media platform or even through a text message are actually “controlled” by the source website.
This means the short summary that can range from a sentence to a few sentences is actually completely in the hands of the source website and is not actually “scrapped” when the link is shared.
