Do you think we should add a link to savethelink.org in our LP ?
How: a simple link ( https://savethelink.org/ ), the widget (

> Hi Kate,

> I realised that as you joined recently you missed the earlier messages

>
> (Quick refresh: There is one last consultation on proposals for an
> EU-wide link tax before the European Commission starts writing their draft
> law. It proposes ancillary copyright measures (charging fees for businesses
> who link out to content), and includes questions on applying it not just to
> news/press publishers, but to all publishers. The deadline for this
> consultation is June 15th. We are trying to make sure that as many people
> as possible take action at savethelink.org/eu before it closes.)

> 1. We have a 'care package' of social media and promotion content

> If you do a regular newsletter or eblast about Internet issues there is a
> draft with both long & short text in our care package which we would love
> it if you could send out. I'm also happy to adapt it and edit if you
> prefer. The care package even includes pre-written tweets & Facebook posts
> that can just be copied and pasted.

> 2. Widget
> This is something a little bit different. We've built a small widget that
> can go in the bottom corner of any web page. It counts the links on the
> page as a way of highlighting how important links are for the open web, and
> how much we rely on them. It then links through to the action page at
> savethelink.org
