    EU Parliament just voted in favor of the most harmful pieces of the © directive: #Article13 #Censorshipmachines and #Article11 #linktax. The last line of defense against these terrible provisions will be the Member States. #SaveYourInternet

    .@EP_Legal has adopted both Article 11 (#linktax) and Article 13 (#CensorshipMachines). It’s a dark day for the open web, but the fight will continue in the upcoming plenary vote in the European Parliament. #SaveYourInternet #SaveTheLink #FixCopyright

    Article 13 would require online platforms to monitor all users’ uploads and try to prevent © infringement through automated filtering. It’s an extreme dragnet that will harm creativity and fundamental rights. Delete it. saveyourinternet.eu #SaveYourInternet #FixCopyright
