Article 13 has been approved by EU. It’s worse than Net Neutrality has ever been. I don’t even know if we will have any access to Tumblr, Pinterest, Ao3 or even Instagram. Memes are probably dead, just like reactions, fanfictions and gifsets. Everyone in EU is in danger that they will not have access to their favorite sites. But I haven’t seen a SINGLE post about it on my dash because Americans doesn’t give a damn.

[ah-finally]

Also, I’m in Europe and ngl, had no idea this was even an article up for debate let alone it being fucking passed.

[unknownpoliticalobject]

Don’t panic! This was expected at this stage and it is only the beginning. If you are a European and feel passionate about this, please keep on reading and help!

So what has happened so far … the Commission has drafted up a long overdue copyright reform. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280 It contains a lot of good, and some bad: mainly Article 11 and 13.

This was put forward as a whole to the European Parlament, where it was voted down on the 5th of July 2018

This meant, this will not go through the fast way, and will be subject to scrutiny and change. 

The Commission made some alterations https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280 and put it forward again. If Parlament would have voted it down again, it probably would have meant back to the drawing board, but most people (including me) agree that Europe does need copyright reform, so on the second vote it passed the first step:

So what happens now? 

This will now go into what is called the Trilogue, where Commission, Parlament and representatives of all national governments will sit together to make alterations until everybody is happy implementing the regulation.

This means we can now influence this via our MEPs and our National Government!

In countries that are red your government is likely to support Article 13.

What to do now?

There are a lot of organisations that organise actions against article 13. Check out their websites and get in touch with your MEP or local government and let them know you are unhappy about this.

https://www.saveyourinternet.eu/ 

https://epicenter.works/

https://www.changecopyright.org/

https://juliareda.eu/eu-copyright-reform/

… and many many more, just google to find one in your country.

Also, as @asthesea-breezehitsmylungs pointed out, a lot of people are not aware of this going on. So make them aware! Share the memes and point them to the petitions. And don’t just complain how shit this is, get in touch with your politicians!

[i-ran-away-without-a-map]

Oh good.

Yo, everyone, EU or not, please at least signal boost this shit. I’ve said it before and I will say it again: those two articles will suck majorly for all of us.

Like dude, how much time do you spend enjoying various things that relate to, Idk, your favourite show or book series. It’ll probs be gone. Funny memes and shit? Nah our generation doesn’t fucking need to laugh, it’s not like half of us are already depressed or anything. And so many other things that are cool about the internet, I’m not even gonna mention how some big, cool places like YouTube and Tumblr will be fucked by this.

So seriously, there’s only so much a small bunch of people can do. We need some noise on this. As much as I hate to admit it, some things require some fat numbres to be paid attention to. So even if you’re not planning on taking any action yourself, the best thing to do would be to spread this to everyone you trust to either get involved or pay it forward like you did.

And seriously, every little thing helps, ok? We should have a say in how the laws that deeply affect us are made.

[devikafernando]

SIGNAL BOOST

[suotar]

Signal boost again to all EU peeps. Keep pushing your MEPS.

[astolat]

Guys, please reblog and if you’re in the EU, please please contact your MEPs and express your objections to article 11 and article 13 and specifically that you want more protections for user-created content and expression. 

Also, whatever happens to Youtube and Tumblr will be nothing in comparison to what regulations like this do to smaller volunteer-run sites like AO3. The real problem here is that it’s yet another step in the networkification of the Internet and making it much harder for anyone who doesn’t have money and lawyers to share their content. 

[awed-frog]

Also want to point out ‘user-created content’ includes everything. If this thing passes in its current form, you won’t be able to:

share your own holiday pictures if there’s a monument in the background

share any kind of picture that includes a logo or a brand (think cute selfie with a random Subway or McDonald’s in the background)

share a WhatsApp video of those beautiful fireworks, that funny bird or your kid doing cute shit with your friends and family because the Eiffel Tower is in the background

upload a profile pic of you wearing your SPN t-shirt

make gifs 

make crack such as [TV show] + textposts / Onion headlines / tweets

add screencaps to your metas or reviews

share the cover of that fantastic book you just read

share images of any painting, statue, or monument

share gifs, videos or pics of any sport event 

create or share memes

make videogame-related tutorials featuring reviews, walkthroughs and whatever else

make fanvids

sing or play your own covers of other artists (alive or dead)

see (or contribute to) wikia sites for your favourite shows and movies

watch stuff like the Pop Culture Detective’s videos

share fanfiction and drabbles on FFN and tumblr 

share fanart or original art on DeviantArt

The bottom line is that big corporations will get to decide what’s visible online and what isn’t, and there’s no silver lining there: in the vast majority of cases they’ll probably leave that up to some algorithm (the accuracy simulation exercises aren’t looking very promising for now tbh), and when they don’t, it’ll be to deliberately target content that goes against their economic interests.

Werewolves are stereotyped as ravenous monsters because the transformations burn so many calories that they’re essentially starving afterwords. The more “controlled” werewolves are just the ones who figured this out and loaded up on calories beforehand, whereas the “wild” ones assume it’s part of their wolfish nature to hunt and eat whatever’s nearby.

The transformation back burns calories too, but by that point they’re exhausted from running around in the woods all night, not to mention the physical strain of two transformations. And filthy people showing up at Denny’s in the early morning are assumed to be hungover, so the ravenous beast idea is applied only to the wolf half.

[clownin-uwu]

are you suggesting people who eat at denny’s are essentially werewolves

[aridotdash]

not just essentially

This is very important if you’re ever in a situation similar this pretend that you’re dead don’t scream and @#!*%

my dad told us this if someone shoots up our school

SUPER IMPORTANT

BEST TIP

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS

[shrinking-ulzzang-deactivated20]

not even a joke we learned this in Police Explorers and put it on your clothing as well but go quickly because you don’t know where the person is.

[bootleg-firework-deactivated201]

This is what school children in America are taught. That is so wrong on so many fucking levels and there are still people who believe gun control in any form is a bad thing.

let me reiterate SCHOOL CHILDREN IN A SUPPOSEDLY FIRST WORLD COUNTRY ARE TAUGHT THE SAME THINGS AS PEOPLE IN ACTIVE WAR ZONES BECAUSE THE THREAT OF BEING KILLED IN A SHOOTING IS SO HIGH.

[starcrossedcherik-deactivated20]

the bit in caps here is making me rethink my stance on gun control 

shit

[appropriately-inappropriate]

I’m reblogging this because as my follower count goes up, the odds of this saving a life do too.

[bronzewitchhazel]

My elementary school had drills telling us what to do in such an emergency. This is exactly what they told us. AND NOW FOR A FACT: IN CALIFORNIA YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER A SHOTGUN!

[iwantineedthebooty]

I live in America, and I was only taught to hide and be quiet. I had to learn this on Tumblr. If one more person says that technology is ruining children, they best shut the hell up because this could be saving lives

Great job, everybody!
