... when people thought they could control who links to them.

I wonder if (removed url) might be a forbidden link?
Yes it would be, if you read what it says in fine print.

(i have removed the url link in my reply, to comply with the website owners wishes)

They are attempting to make this a matter of contract, and that if you visit the site at all you are somehow agreeing to those terms. Whether this would actually hold up in court is one thing, but what if some person, who has never visited the site decides to do this?

Under what theory would that person have any obligations whatsoever?

Yeah, the big telco players often forget about things like "fair use" and "free speech" and other annoying concepts that get in the way of their goal of controlling the entire world....
