First Europeans belittle us for our net neutrality problems, now they are trying to destroy their own internet?
Wonder if it's karma, or just that people in general are stupid.
Either way I signed.

Already been spreading the word for weeks. I don't think this insanity can pass at this point... it it will the EU will likely see a violent revolution even sooner, people have long had it.

Will international signers make any difference? Or do they only pay attention to signers from the EU?

i only support government laws fix monopoly bring every one google fiber internet 80 dollers if they cant even fix that but you can make new laws and not fix others problems first

Its sooo too late for this. But i wish we could do something... LOL the time to fight for this was back in the NET neutrality stuff was being signed. Its not going to stop now...
First the US now the rest of the planet will follow. Be glad you aren't in China. They already syched their AI on their own citizens...

The truth is citizens like us don't have any control anymore.
Nobody's going to do anything. This shits going out with a whimper. Just go back to your member-berries.

The Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition's formal response to Article 13 also notes that this kind of automatic filtering is in breach of both the European Charter of Fundamental Rights and Article 15 of the E-Commerce Directive, which prohibits Member States from "imposing on providers that enjoy the protection of a safe harbour, general obligations to monitor the information which they transmit or store, as well as general obligations actively to seek facts or circumstances indicating illegal activity."
It wont pass.

Didn't they say that about the legislation to kill net neutrality?

Strange how the internet exploded with growth before NN was even a thing.

That video is fearmongering, Article 13 sucks but it isn't that bad.

We'll have to fix them the same way we fixed idiots when I was taking tech calls.

"You say you're on your VOIP and your internet isn't working? And your sure it must be a problem with the line? Okay, since the line plugs first into the modem, let's unplug it first .. Hello? Hello?"
'Notes, customer's lines were fine, unplugging modem dropped their VOIP - which wouldn't have worked on dead lines ...'

"Oh, the internet has something on it you don't like? Please set you phone to airplane mode and unplug your computer. Thank you."

Next week all of EU will be VPNing to pretend not to be in the EU ...

Yeah I heard about that being debated on NPR this afternoon.

I think Youtube is a good example of why we can't let algorithms determine what should and shouldn't be on the internet.
