Won't this affect sites like Lemmy?
No, I don’t think so, as Lemmy doesn’t integrate the news directly, and is not profiting off of it.
I mean couldn't this apply if there were ads added to the site or app? I suppose it depends on how broad the language in the law is.
As long as there's no profit they don't get money
