Well, looks like HN is about to be sued into the ground. It was nice hanging out with you fine folks.

That's fairly standard legalese for large companies. I'm not saying it makes any sense, I'm just saying I've seen it a lot. I believe this is an attempt to lay some groundwork to support the removal of links from sites that you don't want any corporate association with.

Hopefully pg will remove the link, so HN isn't associated with Ryanair. ;-)

The entire web is based off linking. If they don't want linking, then they shouldn't use HTML and HTTP. "HT" stands for Hypertext https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext

If you do link to their site, what can they do? Redirect to 404 or home page for external links?

Sue you?
