>Also, where do you draw the line on what content Google should have to pay to index? What about independent bloggers for example? This policy could potentially open a whole new can of worms.

I'm actually curious now about the principle here. Can the same idea be applied to the news websites themselves? If a news organization links to a Twitter thread then can Twitter or the users of Twitter demand payment from the news organization? If not, why not? What if it's a blog instead?

A time of news articles these days is just filler around some tweets. Damn, your comment is a good take, and Twitter should do exactly this

I know you're just poking at the absurdity of this, but the actual answer is "lobbying power".

For twitter, you've given twitter a free license to reshare your content.

If it's a blog on a site you control, you can control that license
