This is not true, and the headlines are not misrepresentations.

This is not an authoritarian move by the EU.

It's actually quite fair, or a reasonable premise to posit that neither you nor Google have the right to publish copyrighted material.

They are enacting laws for basic copyright protections - which seem wild only due to the fact that the web has been a 'wild west' since inception and it's what we are used to.

I'm against this law, but there are very real arguments for this.

The arguments against the law are actually more pragmatic than anything, i.e. small sites will have trouble complying and it could make information more difficult to access.

The headline is fine.
