Dark day for internet freedom: The @Europarl_EN has rubber-stamped copyright reform including #Article13 and #Article11. MEPs refused to even consider amendments. The results of the final vote: 348 in favor, 274 against #SaveYourInternet pic.twitter.com/8bHaPEEUk3

Thank you to the tens of thousands of creators and EU citizens who spoke out about the unintended consequences of Article 13. The amendment to delete A13 lost by a few votes, and could have gone differently. This is the beginning. #saveyourinternet https://t.co/07bsjVGVvf

European politicians have passed Article 11 and Article 13. These laws have good intentions, but they will have grave consequences for the internet.

In one of the most contentious decisions in the European Union’s history, the European Parliament today voted to approve a directive that undermines Internet users' ability to share their work and creates new limits on their ability to link, quote, and critique the news.

— EFF (@EFF) March 26, 2019

(5) The Copyright Directive makes publishes (like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, web forums) proactively liable for broken copyright. Copyright is often unclear and contested. To avoid being sued, platforms will respond by blocking access to material to European users.

— Matthew Lesh (@matthewlesh) March 25, 2019

#Article13 would require "copyright filters" that would check every tweet, Facebook update, shared photo, and uploaded video to see if they were similar to items in a database of known copyrighted works, and block it if they found anything too similar https://t.co/UNA4G5b3xI

— EFF (@EFF) March 24, 2019

Article 13 passed. This'll affect the internet badly. I feel so bad for a lot of the European content creators I follow. Not that it won't affect the rest of the world too. Good lord. https://t.co/IrIecZef6B

— The Great Clement (@ClementJ64) March 26, 2019

This is an insane way to run the “most democratic body of the EU”. Basically, the copyright articles passed via mistake.

Europe, over the past year:

--New copyright rules that include some payment to publishers
--Toughest in world privacy rules
--New state laws on terrorist content/hate speech, EU directive coming
--Repeated privacy/antitrust enforcement.

--None of that

One simple thing to fight for in national implementations of #Article13: don't ever enforce it until rights holders publish an open database of their protected works, so they can be identified. It must be a prerequisite as you can't ask platforms to guess what's protected or not. https://t.co/l13mGiR74X
