Not gonna lie, I lost the password for this account and went ahead and made another. From here on out this account will continue to be dead. Follow my other account @cantstoptheprince and my Twitter _ramendude_. I hope to see you guys there. Love you all.
this website has destroyed my fucking sense of humour like who do i share this with. who do i show this to.Ā all of my friends are normal and i cant show my family anything i do online so just what the fuck where do i go from here
I donāt want to disappear without a forewarning.
As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.Ā
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.Ā
Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.Ā
Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content.Ā Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.Ā
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.Ā

This doesnāt just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesnāt belong to us will be filtered.Ā Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission.Ā But it goes even further than that.
Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing itĀ (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Bakerā¦) into what it is today addressed an open letterĀ to the members of the European Parliament:
āAs creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.
But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. [ā¦] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.ā
Here is the original Article 13. Itās even scarier.Ā / Link 2Ā
Here is how to contact your MEPs.Ā
Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.
Europe is facing a huge problem, and unlike with Net Neutrality, the world doesnāt seem to care.Ā
āI know youāve been waiting 14 years for The Incredibles but do you know whose love you never have to wait for? Thatās right, say his name. Jesus! ā
I know frozone been looking for his super suit for 14 years, but you know who doesnāt need a super suit? JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR! Amen? AMEN!
