If youâre European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Hereâs why.
On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the âLink Taxâ and the âCensorship Machinesâ articles.
Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you wonât be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because itâs all copyrighted material. And you wonât also be able to share, enjoy or download otherâs contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.
But not everythingâs lost yet. Thereâs another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.
What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, donât let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.
