>EU Puts An End To The Open Internet: Link Taxes And Filters Approved By Just 5 Votes

> Well, it was a nice run while it lasted, but the EU Parliament has just put an end to the open internet. By the incredibly thin margin of just five votes, the Parliament voted to approve the EU Copyright Directive, including the terrible versions of both Article 11 and 13. This is an inauspicious day and one that the EU will almost certainly come to regret. While we now need to see how each of the member states will implement the actual laws put forth in the Directive (meaning the damage in some states may be more mitigatable than in others), on the whole the EU Copyright Directive requires laws that effectively end the open internet as an open communications medium. Sites that previously allowed content creators to freely publish content will now be forced to make impossible choices: license all content (which is literally impossible), filter all content (expensive and failure-prone), or shut down. Sites that used to send traffic to news sources may now need to reconsider, as doing so will inexplicably require payment.

>At best, the EU--for all its complaints about Google and Facebook--has just locked both companies into a dominant position. They can afford this. Others cannot. And, the legacy gatekeepers in the media and entertainment business will quickly pivot to seeking to export this model elsewhere.

>The MEPs who voted for this are up for election in two months, and hopefully the EU shows them the door, but in the meantime, today is a sad day for the open internet. I am sure that some will be celebrating on the false belief that this will magically "help artists." It will not. You just handed more power to giant companies, and took it away from creators. In time, one hopes, those who mocked the protesters and activists and actual experts will come to realize just how much they destroyed today.

Techdirt isn't ars technica, but yes, archive should have been there.

At least there's finally something that renders violence against porkies very justifiable. This was something there were more protests against than against immigration if I remember well and they still have pushed it and call protesters paid shills and bots.
I don't really care tho, there's tor, vpns and I live in europe but not in the united states of europe.

Shame is all the opposition except left and green is completely reactionary. I would love to see more detailed results tho.

Yeah certainly, relegating EU member forever irrelevant

> Google and Facebook locked into a dominant position
EU and its member states have from the beginning 30 years ago, strangulated the slightest attempts to build an IT industry. Freedom and creativity we don’t do here. Europe is so irrelevant for next generation of industrialisation.

>I am sure that some will be celebrating on the false belief that this will magically "help artists."
Retards maybe

> come to realize just how much they destroyed today.
Already broken everything, they just poured concrete over it.

79% of white monkeys and that means 99%, the the 20% were anti because of exposition.
>eu broke everything
No, they just embraced the state of the internet while they should have attempted to fix it like every government who has been given power by people should, or at least make it non-mandatory.
>>3207
Hardly. They vote against these kind of fuckeries consistently.

You wish, no next generation hardware (where are your processor, chipsets, etc. and manufacturing)
It s like bolts, nails and screws in first industrialization.

No software, everything runs on mikeysoft and co, anyway, lobbing not strictly necessary because morons, that includes leadership in economy and politics

No Google, Facebook, NSA sponsored but couldn't take off because everything has to be censored to death.
No Amazon, ebay, because retail and mail order were retards. In 2000 I told one you have to make your sides easy and accessible like google front page, so anybody can without plugin and javashit find and buy your stuff. They looked at me as if I'm crazy. The are bankrupt now.

>eu broke everything

There is nothing to fix, if you are not competitive, legislation wont help. Dead tree propaganda industry is going to disappear anyway and the local one will end like that of the Commies, subsidized until the regime ends.

the problem isn't anything to do with laws or politics, it's the lack of good software. if we had good software we could browse every website uniformly (e.g no per-website theme, 0 CPU usage) and automatically bypass any retarded bullshit they have. also we already had link tax since 2011 because of cuckflare, given that you need Tor to view this imageboard

Yep, it would certainly make the experience much better. I suppose a project involving a few people could do the same.

Yes, it's a shitty source.

Too bad "hacktivism" seems out of style, this would be a perfect target for such activities. Regardless, the reactionary in me call for cyberterrorism.
