It looks like 13 in its current form is dead anyway.

It’s at a brick wall but it won’t stay there forever.

There's inherently little to nothing wrong with that 13 is attempting to achieve, and most of what has been said about it is pretty questionable (I mean, "banning memes"? Really not what it was ever designed for).

 

The issue is, as is often the case with attempts by non-experts to legislate on complex technical issues, that the full implications of it are seldom properly considered.

I’d advise to watch this video:

I'd advise people to also read the proposed legislation and expert opinions of it, rather than trusting the interpretation of random YouTubers.

A fairly coherent and non-sensationalist summary of 11/13:

Facebook has been supporting Article 13:

I'm not even surprised.

 

Also you can feel free to not take the issue seriously, I’ll just find someone who cares.

 

Also here's something interesting:
