Article 13
What will happen on June 20th?
On June 20th, the Legal Committee of the EU Parliament votes on the proposed Copyright Directive. The only ones who can stop this fatal law now are the Members of the European Parliament(MEP)! *

Dictatorship of error-prone algorithms
Upload filters on sites like Youtube, Facebook etc. have one thing in common: They will never work as accurate as a real human. As a consequence, copyrighted content that is used under fair use laws, gets deleted. This tendancy could be abused to filter content that's not in line with the companies values and interests. *

No more links
In the future, press publishers will be required to bill for any links someone makes to their content. News portals are thus nullified. No to the link tax! *

No more memes
The upload filters also mean the death of the meme culture. Copyrighted material under the terms of free use can no longer be distributed without paid licenses. Save our meme culture! *

Hear what others are saying
This censoring could flip the cultural norms of the internet, as we know them, upside-down. Upload-blocks in combination with error-prone algorithms potentially means that even something as simple as posting links, could soon become a problem. This will be patently obvious on sites like Twitter, Facebook, 9GAG etc. To be precise - all your favorite websites. Because Article 11 and 13 would mean that links or citations could be redacted, or stopped from being uploaded in the first place. *

Time is running out
The vote in the EU Parliament will take place in a few days! Therefore we have to act IMMEDIATELY to retune the Members of the European Parliament. The committee responsible has just a narrow majority of one vote in favor of the proposal. *

Article 13 in detail
Article 13 requires in practice that almost all internet platforms install a filter robot which automatically checks all uploaded content. This unduly restricts freedom of expression before it can be used. Content censorship decision is left to error-prone and oversensitive algorithms (programmed to play it safe and erase anything that creates a risk for the platform in case of doubt). *

Article 11 in detail
In ancillary copyright law (Article 11), it is stipulated that the content of certain information providers will in future be subject to specific media law. This means that already quoted texts could be declared a copyright infringement.
A large part of the providers of news on the net will be affected by this, since the use of external links will be restricted or paid. *

Article 11 not only affects the internet
Research and progress are also suffering from Article 11. In the future, users, such as independent researchers, journalists, individuals and various companies, will be denied text and data mining. This has a slowing effect on various discoveries of public interest. *
