sivispacem 18,717 Posted January 24 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.

sivispacem 18,717 Posted January 24 I'd advise people to also read the proposed legislation and expert opinions of it, rather than trusting the interpretation of random YouTubers. https://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/copyright-document.pdf A fairly coherent and non-sensationalist summary of 11/13: https://www.alphr.com/politics/1009470/article-13-EU-what-is-it-copyright Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainXtra 0 Posted January 24 (edited) Facebook has been supporting Article 13: https://boingboing.net/2019/01/24/quisling-zuckermonsters.html 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: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190208/17292241562/article-13-was-purposefully-designed-to-be-awful-internet-eu-moves-forward-with-it-anyway.shtml Edited Tuesday at 05:14 AM by CaptainXtra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
