Question Article 13 - AKA UE Plan to Control/Destroy Internet

I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post in but I think it's important enough to risk having the administrators angry at me for making a mess.

Anyway, the UE parlament will vote this month a copyright law that require filtering uploaded material, ignores Fair Use laws and introduces Link Tax.

I wont go in detail about what it does, I will just give the address to a few articles (no link tax, just copy and paste) and videos explaining it better than I would, but let me say this, this shit stinks, badly..... if you have ever read/seen any cyberpunk story with corporations controlling the content of the Matrix, congratulation that's the exact flavour of the stench, and let me tell, I really dislike seeing this happening:

If you want to do something here is a site that, hopefully, will be of use: saveyourinternet.eu/

Please, help us fight this abomination.

P.S.
I'm not an activist and I feel a bit of an idiot acting like one, but really, this shit is bad.

Aslo, I have no Facebook or Twitter account, if you could share and make as much noice on those platforms as humanly possible it would be a huge help.

I haven't read Article 13, so I don't know what it says or does. I do remember back when Net Neutrality was proposed there were a lot of people screaming how it was going to destroy the internet. At the time, I went and read the bill, and realized that what everyone was screaming about, was the direct opposite of the bill said. Those same people are now screaming about the elimination of Net Neutrality.

I'm not saying it's the same situation, but you might want to go to the original source.

I don't claim to understand what's involved. So I tried Googling it for the facts. What struck me was... that the people would expect to be screaming at a legitimate threat to the Internet (the Mozilla Foundation, the EFF, the better class of technical websites...) were oddly silent. The google results could be divided roughly into 3 categories:
1. Official, stuffy sites discussing in lawyerese what's required for compliance (you can tell it's stuffy when the content is mostly in PDFs)
2. Debate sites like Reddit where you can hardly expect an informed opinion to have any voice.
3. Shrill the-heaven-is-falling articles from sites that... I haven't ever heard about.

And I suggest you also research what FOSTA (our insanity) has done.

When I read the final bill, I knew it had shit to do with sex trafficking... and lots of others did, and surprise, surprise, less than a month our points were proven as San Jose took one of the subletting websites to court for violating a local ordnance.

IS it going to be upheld by the USSC? Aspects aren't, yes, overall? No idea, as it depends on how the USSC feels this week.
