In a few hours, the EU will give the last vote on a copyright reform.
Said copyright reform has nothing to do with copyrights at all, and DEFINITELY affects people outside the EU.
It basically requires an automated upload filter to enforce copyright laws. This filter not only stops creative works under
fair use, but can easily be tampered with to stifle dissent. It is full-stop Orwellian.
Democracy absolutely requires that the people have unrestricted access to information to make decisions. If the government
controls information, it can safely keep inhumane and bigoted practices under the hood. It can manipulate popular opinion to
bolster harmful behaviors. It can give even more oppressive influence to the highest briber. The unaware population has no
way whatsoever to keep the government in check.
Democracy weakens to the point of complete irrelevancy, becoming indistinguishable from dictatorship.
We must bang pots and pans now, and later too. Tweet famous people, talk about it everywhere on internet and out of it.
Translate this to languages in the EU and send post on european forums.
Do something. Do anything. Do now.
