So the law penalizes them for just linking, even if they removed the headlines and the summary they still have to pay. Why aren't news organizations paying Meta & Google for sending traffic their way?

Meta and Google are making money off of others work without compensation.

Meta doesn't seem to think they make very much off news at all, given they've been blocking it for months now here and have been cutting down on it globally across their products.
