I don’t usually share this kind of thing, and I will delete it later. But this June 20th the EU want to pass Article 13 that will destroy fair use on the internet and will effect non-EU residents too. Goodbye to making money from fan art and livestreaming games and parody videos. No can do. Visit saveyourinternet.eu to very simply send a pre-written email to you MEPs. Please spread awareness as there’s not much time.
All you people who were afraid of Net Neutrality should be terrified of this.
C’mon, guys.
It’s a big sham my dudes, this https://effelants.tumblr.com/post/174463128077/important-the-eu-is-about-to-destroy-the-internet is what it’s really about, scroll down to the bottom of the post, it’s just a bunch of alt righters trying to lie to y’all!!
Okay so I arrived back to a shit storm of notes. But this is definitely something I did not know about this campaign either. Does anyone have any other articles or statistics about it being alt-right propaganda hysteria? The link above is definitely a good start with information I was unaware of. I’m just so confused now, I didn’t realise this had connection to the alt-right and I definitely don’t want to be spreading false information that could help the alt-right. My apologies if I didn’t know the whole picture. I legit thought this was another SOPA deal, because I definitely don’t want fair use on the internet to be gone and that’s what still worries me.
Excuse me? Various sources, including Julia Reda have warned us about this. I’m at this point convinced that this is not alt righters trying to lie to us. I’ve heard that even news outlets that have nothing to do with the alt-right are talking about this now.
Here’s an article by Julia Reda on how it could negatively affect us, and here’s an article on how to stop it.
Seriously, I’m so tired of the people that are saying that this is alt-right propaganda, and that article 13 is a good thing. We’re about to lose our freedom on the internet, and people now won’t do anything.
ARTICLE 13 IS NOT ALT-RIGHT PROPAGANDA! IT IS A LEGIT THREAT TO FANWORKS ONLINE. ANYONE WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE ME CAN UNFOLLOW ME RIGHT NOW. ANYONE WHO DOES, REBLOG! SPREAD THIS!!!
If you guys need any more confirmation that Article 13 is a bad thing for fanworks, just know that Ao3 is actively fighting against it. ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN. AKA THE SITE THAT WORKS TO PROTECT FANWORKS ONLINE. THAT IS A MASSIVE FREAKIN’ CLUE RIGHT THERE.
More info for those who have though this is a scam. I wish it was!
The UN’s top free speech expert has called it a potential violation of international human rights law. The folks behind Wikipedia and various other experts are against it. People are protesting. Politicians are speaking out against it. It’s not a scam. There are probably members of the alt-right who are opposed to it, too, but come on. There are members of the alt-right who drink water, that doesn’t mean drinking water is a bad thing. It’s good to question things. It’s not good to jump to conclusions. And it’s definitely not good to attack well-meaning people for trying to raise awareness of an issue that affects all of us.
