one thing i want to say about this, WTH is happened to EU now??
about content filter, it's already happened in Indonesia By Google branch in Indonesia & our ISP, it called "Safe Search" (obviously, only for everything that contain porns & gore thing, Like Tumblr, Reddit, etc). But, We can still use VPN for avoid that content filter
but Article 13 is even worse than my country's internet rules
I just can hope EU parlement is not that stupid enough

It looks like that it has been rejected: www.wired.co.uk/article/article-13-eu-copyright-directive-memes"The Copyright Directive, which contained the particularly concerning Article 13, was rejected by 318 votes to 278, with 31 abstentions." The law will go back to be debated and polished before to be presented again. I am not very attentive to all these stories, there have been a couple of years with tons of Internet-killer laws threats, ¿when are they going to end? O_ò What I understood is that, the article 13, was enforcing the different internet platforms to do bigger efforts in stop the copyright transgressions, people thinking in the piracy of movies and series online, or the music industry that is highly affected by piracy (in theory). So with the article 13, internet pages would be forced to check and stop the upload of that copyright content. The problems comes on one side, the difficulty of the task, for example, internet providers, would have to hire new staff and increase the monitoring of their users activities in order to stop the ilegal uploads, or according to the article 13, they providers could be penalised. That increase in staff and monitoring, would generate higher costs to the company what surelly would lead to bigger bills for the internet users, in a already competitive market that's not a good idea, that's why in the video says that companies like Google and facebook would be winning from this, they have resources to overcome the task better than others, what could help to clean the competency (leaving less freedom and alternatives). The other problem, rely in the vague mention of the copyright content. A naive person thinks copyright of movies, music and tv shows, but the copyright influence goes much further than that. Images , memes, drawings, photos, articles, fan-fics, youtube walkthroughs, comedy sketches, and well, all this forum would be shutted down for copyright transgression according to that law, because it doesn't specify. In the physical world, there are laws that protects some fan artwork and parodies of some copyrighted content under some conditions, but the article 13 is too open what could lead to many abusses what and overprotective measures because it was too vague, what meant that was affecting many things, effectively it could have broken many of the internet activities. I'm glad it were rejected, just hopping that the next revision, gets better and doesn't come with another killer-internet threat apocalipsis.
