Reminder that, yes indeed the #JCPA might have flaws, but whenever you say "link tax" all you're doing is telling the world that you don't know how search works today. Things have changed since the 90s, you might want to update a bit.

If search were just about linking we'd be living in a different world. AMP (which is still very much required despite assurances to the contrary) and the host of other schemes like Instant Articles or Showcase aren't links and they hurt publishers.
