Article 13 got approved and that means the internet will be censored for all countries under the EU. If that happens, it’s likely bloggers from affected countries cannot post content anymore. I wouldn’t be able to post gifs, edits, icons, anything anymore. Even adding links to posts could cost money. You can get more information here and here or simply using google to find information from a source you trust. Please sign the petition here and here (everyone can sign this one apparently) to prevent this from happening. I don’t want to lose my blog.
Article 13 didn’t get approved yet. It’s voted on tomorrow, July 5. Signing a change.org petition won’t do much. What you have to do is go to saveyourinternet.eu, and from there e-mail/phone/tweet your country’s representatives in the European Parliament and ask them to vote against it tomorrow.
Article 13 has been rejected!
HELL YES
The fight isn’t over just yet!
The proposal will continue being debated, and a new mandate will be voted on in September. It’s just a setback for the proponents of this law. The will behind this proposal still exists and they will still try to push it through in one form or the other.
Continue to contact your MEP. And don’t forget to vote in the European Parliament election next year in March!
