The OTW is proud to join the Save The Link campaign. The campaign, led by Open Media International, stands for the proposition that linking is the foundation of the Web and is essential to freedom of expression online. The OTW, together with the other Save the Link members, believe it is wrong to censor links to content or otherwise penalize services for utilizing hyperlinks.
The Save the Link campaign is a global response to attempts in various places around the world to block sites, block links, and limit the way people can link to news sites. Of particular relevance to to fans and fan culture are recent attempts in the European Union and Australia to make websites liable for the content on the other end of every single link posted using their platform, and to legally block websites that even do as little as linking to infringing content. We are glad to be part of a group of vigilant watchers who will help us inform the public about such reactionary policies.
