    Nope. Read the bill text. All Google has to do is link to an article for it to apply.

      I am not saying this particular law is good. I even have suspicions that it could be bad on purpose. Easier to fight and makes the news sites look like idiots.

      The problem is real and needs proper regulations, but for some reason only no or ridiculous regulation happens…

      Oh… now I sound like some conspiracy theorist 😀
