With the rise of AI agents, we have a unique opportunity to rethink our digital infrastructure for a world that demands a fairer and more sustainable approach to content access, an area that has long needed change. This is where Linkup comes in. As a pioneer of a new ethical model for tomorrow’s web traffic, Linkup is setting a new standard where deep analysis and powerful applications go hand in hand with fairness.”
