His Facebook is an actual ship acc i cant

I guess that’s goodbye to sharing amazing fanfics, goodbye to sharing gifs, goodbye to all the beautiful memes and goodbye to the free internet!

It was great having a place to share my love for these fandoms with others, let’s hope they realise what a HUGE mistake they made…

Please go sign this petition if you care about the internet we all know. Old people have voted about OUR platforms and I won’t stand for it.

If you got questions about this article don’t hesitate to ask me about it, I would love to explain how stupid this EU parliamentary really is.

And just FYI, this WILL affect everyone, not only Europe.

Thank you.

Each country will have about two years to adapt the articles into their own law. It’s a slow process and laws will be different in each country.

The problem is this:

Article 13 makes platforms accountable when their users upload copyrighted content and I don’t see any other option for them than using upload filters. Filters are always faulty. If you’ve been here during the nsfw purge, you know how many posts and blogs were mistakenly marked as nsfw.

This is not only about memes, fanfic, let’s plays, reaction content and gifs. It’s about news reporting as well.

Yes there will be fair use, but I’m worried the filters won’t catch up on sarcasm, educational content etc. Hasn’t worked properly since.

But those 60 year old men, who think “meme” is a search category on google (I’m not kidding), think two years will be enough to improve the filter system.

If you’re European and of age VOTE IN MAY.

Look up your country’s parliament and check who voted pro Article 13. Vote against them.

Now that Tumblr has completely fucked most people with killing their links (if you put any link, even one that directs back to a Tumblr post, it no longer shows in the search engine), it’s on YOU, the consumer, to make sure things get noticed. By that I mean, if you LIKE something and you don’t reblog it, that’s right, that’s less chance of it getting seen. When a post does poorly, the creator will eventually stop creating. This goes for gifs, icons, headers, writing, art, you name it. Creators will eventually stop. So, you LIKE something, click that little reblog button. Click the queue option. If you want to keep seeing your favorite creators, it’s up to YOU to make sure their posts actually get seen.

And, before anyone wants to pipe up, one person DOES make a difference. If you’re reading this thinking “oh, someone else will reblog, I don’t have to!”. Well, no. You’re wrong because if YOU’RE thinking that, many other people are as well which means, no the post will not be seen and the creator stops creating (or at least publishing for your unpaid consumption).

The post doesn’t match your blog aesthetic? Make a new blog. You don’t have to maintain it. Just click the reblog button and it’ll STILL help get the creators some form of recognition.
