The usual suspects with the usual malicious intent wish to impose a link tax on everybody and thereby strangle the internet and destroy the free flow of information. We should oppose this bill and register our opposition to its passage. The EFF is starting a campaign to let them know that we do not consent to this here: https://supporters.eff.org/civicrm/mailing/view?reset=1&id=11556 that contains a link to initiate a mailing to one's congresscritters.

I added to mine assorted verbiage to the effect that links are today's footnotes and that without them there is no basis for determining the probability of veracity and/or reality of posted information or other material, rendering everything equally devoid of credibility.

please pile on.
