Just out of curiosity, how will CP handle the link tax? Will CP pay the tax or will no longer be available in the EU?

The solution is for CP to simply ignore the EU. That someone in the EU can access a web site residing outside the EU doesn't give the EU legal authority over that web site.

True, but the EU can block said website. We have a lot of members in the EU. It would be a shame if they couldn't access the site any longer. I know a VPN could be used; however, it's only a matter of time before they become illegal (in the EU). How else would the EU enforce such policies?

The EU might buy high technology equipment from a superpower in the Far East - their Great Firewall is known to work very reliably (though still not perfect).

Snidely Whiplash is the cartoon villain in the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show. Snidely Whiplash - Wikipedia[^] His character is a "Mustache Twirling Villain", the origins of which go back to at least silent movies. The idea is that they do evil things just because, without any regard to long term consequences, and while doing them, they twirl their mustaches.
In this case, the EU seems like one of these villains, with the US government being a lesser villain. (One could argue, though, that Twitter and Google are now even bigger villains.)

Sending a link instead of uploading a massive image is just one trick humans use to convey information without burning through data. In fact, these tricks might inspire an entirely new class of image compression algorithms, according to research by a team of Stanford Univeristy engineers and high school students. We can't even agree on how to pronounce GIF, so how are we to compress images?

Exactly how does that work? I can send a link of a 1000 byte image to a 1000 people, and assuming they all click the link, that's 1,000,000 bytes transferred.
Or I can compress the 1000 byte image to say, 200 bytes, send that image to 1000 people, and the data transfer is 200,000 bytes.
What am I missing?

You're not applying enough layers of BS.
By using a slightly more advanced version of the crap from that article by including www.Google.com in this post I've included a compressed version of the entire public internet a compression ratio of something like a trillion to one.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Then provide better.
I’m more than a little tired of the complaints, so perhaps someone else should be doing this.
