If the proposal was to treat Amp, or excessive embedding of content on social media feeds etc., as effectively piracy and prosecuting on that basis then I'd be open to it. But I just can't get behind what is being proposed in any way because it is so absurd and arbitrary. As a supporter of a free and open Internet, I can't see how the logical conclusion of requiring websites to reimburse the other end of a hyperlink for the privilege of linking to them could possibly be a good thing. As a user of the Internet in Australia, I am concerned about what the obvious sovereign risk of the Treasurer having this power to arbitrarily punish web companies does to the availibility of services to Australian users. As a software developer in Australia (albeit one who hasn't worked directly in web tech to date), I am concerned about the damage this does to the tech industry, and subsequently my employability and income, in this country. And most of all as a political citizen of Australia, I am deeply troubled by the idea of giving politicians the power of deciding which media organisations do/don't have the power to arbitrarily extort money out of FAANG as a significant revenue stream.
