EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.
Article 13 is going into itās final stages of voting.Ā
If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr.Ā
THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES.Ā
IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES.Ā
WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR.Ā
So here is what you need to do to drag this article down.Ā
I canāt stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down.Ā
2. Make your own contentĀ
Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved.Ā
3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPsĀ
Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD.Ā
The article itself is way to vague about what itās conveying to its people.Ā
Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as itās inĀ āgood faith.āĀ
We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post.Ā
FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE.Ā
Hereās a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.Ā
