#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Last time I read about this it sounded like the chances of it passing seemed high. Check the "Where the member states stand" chart on this MEP's blog: https://juliareda.eu/2018/05/censorship-machines-link-tax-fi...
But was that with the amendment introduced on 25 May? The original article says the proposal was introduced on GDPR Day, I assume that means 25 May. That blog post was last updated on 25 May. Was that before or after they had taken the temperature for MEPs' stance on this new proposal?
She has an updated post here: https://juliareda.eu/2018/06/saveyourinternet/

#13Just the fact that the EFF, the FSF, BoingBoing, European Pirates, etc disagree with this makes me want to support it.

#15That placement of comma is apocalyptically stupid, one.
(If I am wrong and that's actually acceptable, please convince me otherwise.)

#16Seems like this is even less thought out than SOPA and ACTA.
It's only a pity there is not a comparable banner and outage campaign for this as there was for those. Made them impossible to miss and just about everyone knew of them. Ensured all the politicians were getting dozens of calls. Above all it worked. Dozens of non-US sites joined in.
This time around? A few news pieces on tech sites have cropped up otherwise a lot of silence. That's surprising as it seems like this will affect everyone too. Yet it's barely rated a mention in the mainstream media, here in the UK at least. Admittedly most of our EU news has been the idiocy of Brexit for the last year.
Would probably be helpful not to lose the topic in yet another discussion of GDPR too.

The original title is different and added another adjective.

It's even more than content sharing, basically any platform would swarm in copyright lawsuits making maintaining a service in the EU very difficult.

#19It will be another useless law - once user clicks through accepting cookies, then accepting gdpr stuff, then will have to log in and the page will be acting as a partner in conversation end to end encrypted. What you upload will be then distributed by that virtual person to other users in form of messages. That way unless they also want to filter private messages it will be unenforcable.

It is not only that - basically even a message you post on a forum could contain copyrighted text so that would have to be filtered too. It is a dead of internet as we know it.
