The “True” Facts When No One Dares Speak The Truth

The “True” Facts When No One Dares Speak The Truth

We Still Remember Total Control System

The paradox when technology has enabled our instant communication across borders and cultures and we are now struggling to disconnect, each shouting out loud on their isolated island!

There was a system of total control where all facts were “true” and no one dared to speak the truth. What a sad situation of short memory demonstrated during the debates about the copyright law in Europe.

Quotes I selected from Julia Reda’s must-read article

“A bad idea made law”

“Compared to individual news sites, press agencies often just compile the basic facts about what happened. Extending this right to them thus comes close to giving them control over the spreading of facts themselves – something copyright law was never intended to do. Even the Berne convention, the oldest international copyright treaty still in force today, explicitly excludes “news of the day or to miscellaneous facts” from copyright protection, in order to protect access to information”

“Publishers must charge, whether they want to or not”

“These ideas have already failed”

“From the perspective of the social network, spreading fake news in the form of sponsored posts makes them money, whereas their users sharing legitimate news articles costs them money. Guess which of the two will see an increase as a consequence of this proposal”

Must read!
