European Union Targets YouTube With Internet Censorship Legislation Coming This January 2019 (Articles 11/13)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It quietly went through the European Union Parliament on September 12th, 2018. This is how Wikipedia describes it. “The Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market 2016/0280(COD), also known as the EU Copyright Directive, is a proposed European Union directive intended to harmonise aspects of the European Union copyright law and moved towards a Digital Single Market. First introduced by the European Parliament Committee on Legal Affairs on 20 June 2018, the directive currently has been approved by the European Parliament on 12 September 2018, and will enter formal Trilogue discussions that are expected to conclude in January 2019. If formalized, each of the EU’s member countries would then be required to enact laws to support the directive.

The European Council describe their key goals as protecting press publications, reducing the “value gap” between the profits made by internet platforms and content creators, encouraging “collaboration” between these two groups, and creating copyright exceptions for text and data mining. The directive’s specific proposals include giving press publishers direct copyright over use of their publications by internet platforms such as online news aggregators (Article 11) and requiring websites who primarily host content posted by users to take “effective and proportionate” measures to prevent unauthorised postings of copyrighted content or be liable for their users’ actions (Article 13).”

We have already seen how censorship can control a social media platform such as YouTube and Facebook. If we are to trust on-line A.I. enhanced algorithms to screen what we – as a group of individuals – can and cannot post on our social media platforms without risking getting hit and subsequently censored by Google or other search engines then this is the beginning of the end of Free Speech on the Internet.

If the European Union can get away with imposing Draconian Internet Censorship Laws then we as a Human Race may well be whipped and beating into oblivian. That’s my opinion. Who is going to take that away from me?
