22nd July 2025 I displayed an open graph image and had to pay how much?! A media company demanded a license fee for an Open Graph image used on my twitter archive. I gave in and paid it, but what does that mean for open graph images and copyright? In April 2025, I received an email from an image licensing company (hereby "licensor") regarding an image used on my twitter archive.
