Article 13 has just passed in Europe,
This is probably the single, most worst event that has ever occurred to the internet, and has made it the worst day in the entire history of the internet.
Small channels and content creators all over the web, like my own, will be wiped out by the new laws. Such websites as YouTube have stated that they will not allow anybody within the EU to upload anything onto their platform, many other sites will most likely follow suit to this trend. Content creation is one step closer to being completely *****ed.
I'd suggest you guys raise awareness to the issue and cause a bigger uproar to the problem at hand. We need them to realise that what they're doing isn't "protecting copyright laws", it is *****ing the world wide web up completely, in the present, and the forseeable future. The government officials have zero idea what they are doing, and how this will effect the internet as an entirety.
Furthermore, if you live outside of the EU, do not back down and go into a "I don't care" state. This colossal change to the internet will also effect you. Most websites, such as YouTube, use the strictest laws in a given area as their entire security and rule system, as this is easier to do, and makes it easier to uphole the laws of the stricter areas. Thus, this will effect you. There is no doubt about it.
The internet is screwed if we do nothing.
We need to band together to stop this.
We need to stop this.
