Meta Charges Facebook Pages to Post More Than 2 Monthly Links

Summary
Facebook Pages now need a subscription to publish more than two hyperlinks a month, a new Meta limit highlighted in an NPR Planet Money report.
The move fits a broader platform strategy: outbound links send users away, cutting time spent on Facebook and weakening Meta’s ability to keep attention and ad activity on its own service.
Planet Money frames the policy as part of the economics of the internet, where companies facing heavy operating costs—from data centers to other overhead—try to discourage behavior that pushes traffic elsewhere.
