How long is the vote lasting?

Great

It's time to move to Switzerland

Welp

There goes.. a lot of artists.. content creators..

Short filmmakers... music composers

I imagine Article 13 will end with 1 of 2 outcomes.

Either it gets implemented in a way that genuinely won't affect us as hard as we fear.

Or half the internet will be blocked in the entirity of the EU and it will cause mass protests all over which might force the tech illiterate firetrucks in the EU parliament to reverse the decision.

Hoping the former happens

That would be the ideal outcome, yes.

I'm totally arranging a protest in Oslo if the latter happens, wanna join me @Otti#8624? :darkness:

This reminds me of net netruality,which is still being fought right now... the court hasn't settled on it yet

Hahaha, yeah why not

Hoping these.. bills,of either side,don't pass so severely or are stopped

Wait, is this for all of Europe or just in EU?

All of EU

Including the watered down version (EØS).

Meaning, we're affected by this shit as much as the others, despite apparently "not being a member of the EU".

firetruck

That's awful..

We have the right to veto it. But our cowardly government never uses that right anyway.

That's dumb

It is

So memes are dead?

a lot of things are probably dead,maybe

:linkusCry:

We don't really know yet.

There's no way to tell how bad it will be before it's fully implemented.

And that's gonna take a while.
