## What Jamie wrote

Websites have all sorts of silly and confusing terms of service, but I didn’t know that some say you need permission before you can link to them? That is just dumb. I’m guessing the intent is they don't want the hyperlink to be in a negative context, but you have no control over what other people do with links.
