EU Article 13! End Of Internet?
remember those days after a lot of hard
work you always return home and for
peace of mind or to reduce your stress
and anxiety you always open social media
like Facebook Instagram and YouTube you
always watch prank shows movie reviews
anime reviews or some knowledge based
content but after one month if the
copyright law article 13 and the link
tax law article 11 get implemented in
European countries then it will destroy
the global internet very badly under
these laws websites like YouTube
Facebook reddit Wikipedia and more will
be heavily fined if they show any
copyrighted image video music and even
if it contains any link to news owned by
another website these websites will be
fined
even though copyright owners do not want
money for that in the name of copyright
EU article 13 and article 11 is becoming
copyright dictatorship politicians want
extreme control on everyone this law
seems to be a nuclear attack on free
speech which will silence
millions of voices on the internet
overnight and will go back to the dark
ages we live in a global world and
although this is a European law social
media is global and corporations across
the entire globe will have to adhere to
this law so this is where the danger for
your internet comes from the reality is
that this law isn't helping the Internet
it's not protecting artists and
musicians and will only protect
corporations
however due to article 13 millions of
internet-based jobs will be eliminated
over a single night mostly it protects
large corporations millions of
educational content will be gone
overnight well bye bye Matthew Santoro
bye bye hey Green millions of movie
reviewing content will be removed in a
single night so bye-bye watchmojo.com
I'll miss you tech channels will be
terminated too like this channel TTI and
other channels like mkbhd line is tech
and so on this law will also remove
cutie-pies channel to any kind of gaming
videos and any type of roasting videos
won't be available here on the internet
most importantly under this law memes
are banned OMG that's extreme recently
China has banned Winnie the Pooh cartoon
characters due to its close resemblance
to Chinese president walking with
President Obama yeah right it looks
silly but these two laws are even more
restrictive than the Chinese law it
looks like these laws are inspired from
North Korea seriously
well fair use doesn't matter to them
freedom of speech doesn't matter which
only exists on paper the worst case of
this law is that if you're celebrating a
party and sharing a video of it and
there's copyrighted music playing in the
background like Katy Perry or something
then for this the content owner will sue
you as well as YouTube and may ask for
millions of dollars for accidentally
playing their copyrighted music many
people take selfies in front of modern
architecture and shared that content on
YouTube remember under this law
copyright owners of these architectural
designs may sue you too and as we know
many parents often share the footage of
their child playing with some toys which
may be copyrighted characters like
Mickey Mouse Benton spider-man
princesses and so on
under this law these videos will be
blocked too according to various reports
the internet produces 2.4 times more
jobs compared to those jobs which were
destroyed due to it
tell me what will you do if the internet
becomes a politician's propaganda tool
yeah of course we know that will become
mental slaves to them and that's really
bad you guys so raise your voice send
emails to the MPS of the EU countries to
stop it and after all you have to save
your internet no one will do it for you
and only one month is remaining there
are real concerns about the effect of
article 13 on freedom of expression
raised by experts ranging from the UN
Special Rapporteur David Kaye to the
inventor of the World Wide Web Sir Tim
