More like: They want to sell the cake and be paid when you recommend it to others.
Mind that news media don’t pay when they link to social media, quote people, or even report what other media has reported. The real question is, if this law has any beneficial effect for society. I don’t see how.
Except the summary is almost always literally the content the sites ask the sites linking them to show.
They have “please show this preview instead of a boring plain link” code.
This. They even provide the cover image to use. If they don’t want embedding they could just block the request.

That’s exactly what (maybe) violates the law.
You think people should pay X to link to tweets? Or generally for quotes?
No, I’m not saying anything about ‘should’.
It’s about a lawsuit here, and I have told that this may be what has violated the law.
