On the 20th of June, the EU are gonna vote on implementing a new extreme copyright law - autistic bots could effectively eliminate Fair Use, ensure Google/YT monopoly and give fake news journos protections as well. EU members reportedly "pressured and threatened" to vote for this new legislation!

EU Today relays eports from within the EU about being threatened and pressured to "vote the right way" - next day the article disappears, later is replaced with a new version more supportive of the proposed legislation and missing the threat reports:

Get out Europoors
1 kippot 2018-06-12
the mayocide will start in burgeria, fyi
1 LightUmbra 2018-06-12
Thank Allah for that. Europoors are too cowardly to light the cleansing fire.
1 kippot 2018-06-12
not to worry, we will carry the flame here as well but we need the forward thinking non-mayo burgers to start it

Americans will be affected almost just as much, because the laws are gonna apply to any platform - giving, as those sources said, the current big guys the monopoly and curbing startups by putting taxes on them that they won't be able to afford.
If this problem only affected Eurogay I don't think I'd care much - I'm mostly a consumer at this point, almost all the stuff I consume on the internet is uploaded from America, and as long America isn't affected most of the content can stay intact or be restored; Euros can use various methods to bypass the restrictions and get content out there, as long as the platform itself is still intact.
But apparently that's not how it works and the EU can affect the entirety of the web.
1 LightUmbra 2018-06-12
This law would be the last straw in the war between the internet and EU. Most internet companies will probably either pull out of Europe or offer castrated versions of their sites to Europoors. Sites that don't will die and new sites will take their place. It will also probably accelerate the EU's fall and let everyone be incredibly smug towards the Euros.
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
I'd welcome such a development; for a while, I had the notion that Obama gave the EU control over the internet shortly before Trump won, however upon googling it it turned out he handed it over to an international non-government organization - right now I'm not entirely sure what's the case or not.
If EU has no "control over the internet", then yes this might not end in a disaster - however, all the critics warning about this legislation keep insisting that it'll transform the internet and pave the way for Google monopoly; if any American startup can just start a competing platform without having to pay any of those new copyright taxes, what are they worrying about?
1 DoctorFahrenheit 2018-06-12
Another bright side, if this does impact America than people can go back to REEEEEing about Obama. It's a win for dramacoin in every scenario.

Smug missiles standing by.

No they won't. They just do like they did do GDPR laws. Blocked europoors and let Americans continue as normal.
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
Well if that's the case I don't see much reason for concern (Eurofags can use circumventing software to access content anyway).
1 Minimum_T-Giraff 2018-06-12
Like that is good thing?
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
You're a big guy.

:o

Which site blocked europeans? Some blocked europeans for a couple of days while they were updating their shit, but that is already over with.
1 Minimum_T-Giraff 2018-06-12
La times is still blocked.
1 SpotNL 2018-06-12
Just checked. Works fine.
1 Minimum_T-Giraff 2018-06-12
That is so not true. GDPR has a lot of that most lawyers in this topic is unsure what is the ultimately correct way. It is anything but simple.
1 SpotNL 2018-06-12
Well, it is sure yeah going to be hard on companies that live mostly on selling their users' data to third parties, yeah. And about time too.
1 Minimum_T-Giraff 2018-06-12
Simply effects all websites that rely on ad-revenue.
1 grep_var_log 2018-06-12
America already has the DMCA, so you're about 20 years late on that one.
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
Extending copyright protections to news articles; creating autistic software that can't recognize fair use - critics say "false positive" takedowns likely won't be reverted; possibly the legislation also limits fair use as well, not sure about that though.
1 SpotNL 2018-06-12
How is this new?
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
Obviously even moar evil now - the way I understand it, if you try to upload the same thing again it'll get blocked again and so forth; previously I think people just retried and it usually worked?
Also, platforms will be "pressured" into complying, so they'll enforce this stuff more stringently.
1 morerokk 2018-06-12
Hey, us Europeans had to suffer through a week of Americans crying and screaming their fucking lungs out over Net Neutrality. It's only fair.
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
It's more like "haha lol you Americans over there got now net neutrality anymore, EU protects our web usage haha" and then a few months later oh fuuuck lmao
1 Destirigon 2018-06-12
To be fair, lately the lack of Net neutrality doesn't seem so bad anymore. I mean I don't trust companies to have the user's interests in mind, but I trust the government even less.
1 SpotNL 2018-06-12
So gettinfnrid of the rules curtailing companies makes the most sense?
1 pepperouchau 2018-06-12
You have to go back
1 kippot 2018-06-12
not drama, but then again close to none of the mdegenerate agendaposts have any either. centrism achieved
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
Well the drama's gonna come when all the memes get censored in 10 days! I'm not an agendaposter, just ahead of the curve
1 DoctorFahrenheit 2018-06-12
Explain to me why I should care? I mean, YouTube dominance obviously means that there will be heavy pedo influence and I'm sure Google is trying to make people gay or something, but aren't Euros already gay pedos?
Why should I care? Euros should get off America's internet anyway 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
Now why would Doctor(((Fahrenheit))) be so supiciously in favor of weird EU legislations eh?
1 Boeing676 2018-06-12
NA brain bigger than EU brain.
1 SpotNL 2018-06-12
So how is this different than how DMCA works?
1 watermark02 2018-06-12
You just convinced me to support it.
1 WhereDidSerotoninGo 2018-06-12
Lost meme war and declared war on memes instead, kek.
1 Chicup 2018-06-12
This is what should be all over reddits front page, not the NetNeutrality idiocy, (which ironically keeping FCC control would have allowed them to do shit like the EU is talking about if the FCC decided to).
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
Hm, last time this was tried 5 years ago, it was called ACTA and ended up being thrown out due to mass street protests:
http://copybuzz.com/copyright/time-to-acta-on-article-13/
If this gets publicized enough, high chances are the same sort of reaction is going to get it thrown out again.
So hm, what would be a good widely accessed platform for that? Although I'm sure it's on there already. No one's posted it on the frontpage yet?
1 Chicup 2018-06-12
Not a peep on the first page of /r/all. Remember all the astroturfing done for net neutrality, but THIS is fine to reddit?
Fucking idiots eh.
/u/pizzashill this is what government control of the internet looks like.
1 pizzashill 2018-06-12
Literally a retard.
1 Chicup 2018-06-12
You are like a petulant teen with his first pulse of testosterone in his veins, angry at the wrong things, but lucky that Daddy understands you and will see everything works out despite your angst.
1 CookedKentucky 2018-06-12
Hm, well maybe I'll post it there soon and see what happens. Any time of the day where it's most likely to get noticed / traction?
