PSA on the article 13 fiasco
6 years ago
Hello, this is Yuuyatails.
Normally, I would not want to talk about this, but seeing that it's getting worse, I have to.
I'm sure any of you are aware of a controversial EU bill known as Article 13, which mandates the implementation of automated content filter on every major internet sites that allows users to uploading their content to the site, which includes Fur Affinity.
The problem is, as we seen with Youtube's Content-ID, the automated content filters are deeply flawed, as the filter bots can't tell if the contents are used in the way that is defined as fair use or not. Furthermore, automated content filters are subjected to be abused by big name companies in the wrong ways.
Because most of the sites are international sites, implementing the filter would not only affects people in the EU regions, but also people around the world such as me and my friend
Marwan.
If this bill are getting passed in the EU court, sooner or later, there would be little-to-no contents here on Fur Affinity, at least concerning about the fanarts.
Since I'm a person from Malaysia, which is outside of the EU regions, I can't do anything about it except watching the situation to get worse. But if you guys happens to be the people from the EU regions, you can prevent this gloomy reality from happening if you act now.
If you do not want everyone's internet to become much more restrictive, you better act now because, time is running out.
