      Except the summary is almost always literally the content the sites ask the sites linking them to show.

      They have “please show this preview instead of a boring plain link” code.

        This. They even provide the cover image to use. If they don’t want embedding they could just block the request.

        But they don’t want to. They want to sell the cake and eat it too.
