Although I disagree with this kind of law:

Was it just linking? Or was it providing a useful summary that essentially renders no need to click the provided link? + the link

Otherwise I can see why Google and Meta got the law, while Reddit, Apple news and others don't.

Reddit and Apple News will have the law applied to them as well, since the law doesn't include a list of sites affected, just the criteria under which affected sites fall.

So when google said 2 companies it was also as disingenuous as when they said "only linking"
