The EU Copyright Proposal
If the new EU copyright proposal is passed, we will be living in a new era of censorship. YouTube, Facebook and other file-sharing platforms would be forced to implement new algorithms to check whether the content you upload has any copyrighted elements. Bots would judge what you can share – and what can be shared with you. They would filter out and ban anything that might cause a problem. Any problem. It’s about our freedom to speak. It’s about censorship
Don’t let this happen! Stand up for free speech in Europe and protest against this proposal by sending an email to European parliamentarians now!
Copyright protection is important for everyone. But with this proposal, the EU has developed the wrong tool for the job. They want online companies like YouTube and Facebook to check everything that ordinary people put on the internet and filter out any upload that contains copyrighted material
Check how the procedures evolved until now. The Council of EU is expected to vote in April. Learn from MEP Julia Reda https://twitter.com/Senficon
