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.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

Are you fucking serious? Is this really happening? I’m European and I didn’t know a single thing about this

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-44546620 - User plentyofshellfish added this useful link, I can’t believe I live in Europe and am only just hearing about this. It is not enacted yet, 4th of July is the next vote.

Thank you also to non-European users who are signalboosting this.

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
