OH FUCK ARTICLE 13 COULD BE HAPPENING
goodbye github.... goodbye memes....

Although I'm quite sure it won't happen. Or at least won't be as bad as it was planned. There's just too much hate

I’m guessing this is some “hurt feelings” law?

so EU is going towards monitoring all digital traffic?

Is this GDPR compatible?

<@dfox>
If this is really happening, you have a lot of work to do I guess :/

It's weird just sitting in the train while the internet is falling apart...

What's article 13?

Is this the beginning of digital age geo racism?

GDPR triggered many non EU users. This seems to have triggered almost everyone. I won't be surprised if more services and sites tell EU users to get lost.

Rip GitHub? Not really.

You know how we can circumvent all these internet laws? Everyone hosts many things. IPFS-style.

^ just took away what I wanted to comment, I already told somebody else that.

To implement what those old bastards voted for is simply not possible. Such an upload filter has always many false positives or even cannot tell that the image uploaded is actually from the original creator.

It is pretty obvious that many of the (conservative) voters got pumped money up their asses. They have no clue but want to release the directive regardless.

I mean look up the image of Axel Voss how he looks sooo happy after the vote. That is not the smile of a man who thinks he was doing something good, this is the smile of a man whose account just got filled with money.

I am so angry now I cannot contain myself. Need either a beer now or Axel Voss visiting me to punch him in the fucking face.
