if I want it, I’ll take it from you straight up Even if you want something, it’s like cutting water with a sword In my hands is a fat check If you’re curious, do a fact check My standards are way up top Like a fish in water I’m kind of intense, I’m toxic You fall for me, I’m foxy

“WHY AM I even here?” daehyun had been sitting in that uncomfortable chair for a while now and he was starting to get a little annoyed. he didn’t mean to sound rude but his day wasn’t going as planned and he was running out of energy. “sir, i’d love to be able to help you but i don’t know anything that could actually help you.”
As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.
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.
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. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.

This doesn’t 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 doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. 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. 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 it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:
“As 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. […] 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.”
Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2
Here is how to contact your MEPs.
Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.
Europe is facing a huge problem, and unlike with Net Neutrality, the world doesn’t seem to care.
“YANJUN coming through to save the day!” the male exclaimed as he barged through the door, two cups in his hands. “i didn’t know what to get you so i brought tea and coffee.” he made his way to the other’s table before placing the two steaming cups in front of him. “i figured you were tired so i took it upon myself to help you relax a little.”
ANYONE who's close to lars knows about his passion for cars. he first started gaining interest in them when he saw his dad fixing a car in his old shop. that day, he made sure his dad told him everything he could about cars. sadly he couldn't afford to buy a car at the moment, so admiring the cars from afar was the closest he'd ever get to them.
that was exactly what he was doing right now. despite the owner being seated on top of the vehicle, lars came closer to it, his mouth slightly ajar as he eyed it. the owner's voice startled him just as his hand slid out of his jacket's pocket. regardless of the other's threats, lars shifted his gaze to the car once again before speaking up. "where the hell did you get a car like this? i've never seen nothing like it."
If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.
On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.
Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.
But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.
What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.
