    How do you know it’s about link previews?

    The arcticle mentions that it’s about redistributing the content without payment.

    Microsoft, Google and Meta got in trouble as well in the past and got a fine or agreed to paid up.

      Because that’s one key feature in the “2019 European directive adopted into French law”. It’s also what the Google fine was about.

      Also, X isn’t really suitable for copy/pasting entire articles, like is done on lemmy. So that’s probably not it.

        Are you sure about that?

        At the same time, the use of individual words or very short extracts of press publications by information society service providers may not undermine the investments made by publishers of press publications in the production of content. Therefore, it is appropriate to provide that the use of individual words or very short extracts of press publications should not fall within the scope of the rights provided for in this Directive. Taking into account the massive aggregation and use of press publications by information society service providers, it is important that the exclusion of very short extracts be interpreted in such a way as not to affect the effectiveness of the rights provided for in this Directive.
