Open Science fan here, I have some concrete questions about this copyright, publishers and linktax story, for example: (0) - will Scihub be affected? (1) - will arXiv link instead of the published article link be affected? (2) - will the social media companies start to apply filters to the search results and timelines???

After more reading, it is horrible. Even if the answers seem to be (0) no (1) maybe (2) yes, the main point of interest for researchers is that they will become publishers slaves, or else they have to not publish (anything which might result in a copyright filter). Give not publish, or be a slave.
