For those of you who haven't heard, the EU copyright directive, which includes Article 13 and Article 11, was adopted by the EU parliment earlier today with 348 members of the parliament in favor, 274 against, and 36 abstentions. It's a dark day for internet freedom, but in this early stage, it's still impossible to say how the outcome is going to be.
I, therefore, want to ask the members of BMF what you think is going to change as a result of this and what you think about the new directive? I find it hard to believe that EU will be able to censor to the internet, but a lot of websites, especially the bigger ones like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc., will surely have to undergo big changes. Also, @Mr. B do you think this community is going to be affected? And if so, how?
I know I'm not supposed to post links to other websites, but if you have no clue what I'm talking about, I'd really recommend you to check out a video about this by Computer Forever (link).
