Is this the EU version of Net Neutrality or just net Censorship?

and what if countries simply refused to pay the tax? Maybe the countries that are affected can ban together and declare a law outlawing taxes on hyperlinks- and arrest anyone in any country that tries to create hyperlink taxes- which law will be the more ‘authoritative’?

World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee... should be respected by all politicians in the EU.
EU. Wow. John Paul II promoted it and then wasted his time trying to influence it. Sadly, EU is not American.

I would think Google and Bing should just go on strike and refuse to serve any pages to EU IP addresses for a few days.
Or, they could just target the IP addresses serving EU offices, which would be hilarious.

Article 11 is intended to give publishers and papers a way to make money when companies like Google link to their stories, allowing them to demand paid licenses.
so let me get this straight, these suckholes get free clicks and ad revenue when users are directed to their sites by said links so to discourage said revenue and linkage they want to force licensure that will reduce hits and ad revenue... is that it???
