EU wants censorshipmachines

Julia Reda on Twitter: "#Article13, the #CensorshipMachines, has been adopted by @EP_Legal with a 15:10 majority. Again: We will take this fight to plenary and still hope to #SaveYourInternet… https://t.co/LyWrGWmiG8"[^] Dutch article here[^] - translated by Google; "Article 13 of the Directive requires Internet platforms to filter all content uploaded by users on copyrighted material. This applies not only to many video files, audio files and photos, but also to texts. Each comment will have to be passed through a filter and checked for legality." - I wonder if that works with translations? :) If that doesn't scare you, search for article 11, where one is required to get a license from the author before linking.

If the EU wishes to commit suicide, I won't stand in its way. :) If these ideas are actually placed into law, one or more of the following will happen: 1. Lawyer's bonanza, as everyone gets sued for breach of copyright 2. Rather than check for copyrighted material, file sharing sites restrict their offerings in Europe 3. Rather than license every link, sites like Google refuse to work in Europe. The Internet is suddenly much less useful. 4. ...

Welcome to the new "Dark Ages" in Europe. Maybe that's what they are going for. Put's on tin-foil hat.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.

Those started a few years back, when our politicians suddenly got the insight that we could no longer be an independent state.

exactly. Just turn off the internet in Europe and let them suffer from their own stupidity. Kind of hard to discuss censorship in a non-soapbox forum and not violate forum rules. :sigh:

Look on the bright side; web sites will run a lot faster without all that pesky content.

It's completely and utterly bonkers (as is clause 11) but it should be noted that the JURI committee cannot bring this into law, it would need the European Parliament to do that. The almost universal dislike of these two clauses would suggest that the entire proposed Copyright Directive is utterly doomed while they are in it, giving JURI two realistic options: ditch both clauses or ditch the whole proposal.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

They should add a requirement of signing an agreement before reading each page on the Internet. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
:wtf: :omg: Be careful; the idiots experts in Brussels might think that was (a) a serious proposal, and (b) a good idea. :)

Certainly Q&A will probably have far fewer postings.
