Me too. I think this law is ridiculous, but honestly I'm quite happy with all of its impacts. I view news link-sharing on social media as a negative for both news and social media. It drives news sites into hyping inflammatory and polarizing issues, and turns social media sites into a den of divisiveness and fearmongering. In the old days, Facebook was mostly photos, friends' statuses, event announcements, groups, and unsolicited poetry. If this is a step in that direction, then great! And as for Google, if this helps people realize that other search engines actually exist, that's great too! All unrelated to what the bill was actually aiming for, of course.
