It links to a page to call "my MEP" by Mozilla that will call me and have me say some dull words to them. Has anyone done that? I'd rather know who my MEP is, call them, and personally explain them the issue. Any idea how to figure out who "my MEP" is and call them?

Google meps and you'll find a Europa Parliament site with a list of MEPs for that country. You can then find who represents your area

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.

* Of internet as we know it in the EU. Other nations will give the EU a big finger and move on with their life

I am afraid that other countries will copy that sooner or later as it gets them power of censorship.

It will have to go to ministry of originality for inspection and approval.

The ministry has been privatized.
