>Article 11 of the proposed law requires online platforms to pay publishers a fee if they link to their news content.
I don't see how the law does this. The proposal states, under section 33:
>This protection does not extend to acts of hyperlinking which do not constitute communication to the public.
This is the only mention of linking that I could find in the law.
As for article 13, it does seem far too broad. There needs to be explicit exemptions for what we call "fair use" in the US. Educational, research, transformative uses, parody, etc, must be preserved.
