Re: European Parliament approves copyright reform
#4I will now start my move out of the EU. I know how heavily restricted Internet feels like from my frequent Iran travels, and I will move out of any country that moves 2 inches in that direction, whatever the "good reason" might be. Politicians felt like your regular corrupt banana republic representatives this time. And now they know how to get away with this, they will try it with something different again soon.

#6Wonder how everyone here who keep praising and extolling everything the EU does has to say about this.
Edit: being downvoted to oblivion suggests either that they are in denial or there are many paid shills around or both, either way I rest my case.

Literally nobody is doing that.
Young EU supporters, like me, are the very people who were demonstrating against this.
We are caught between reckless Brexiteering nationalists and a lobby-bought EU parliament.

funny how it's always a throwaway...
But yeah nobody is defending this unless you're part of the copyright lobby, the news lobby or some other mafia-like organization

Well, my position has been that platforms have been built on the knowledge that they're heavily used for content theft but that they're shielded from liability for it unfairly. (See Section 230 here in the US). And I think the tech industry is a pox on our news media and the money they need to do real investigative work. (See Apple taking like a solid 50% revenue on their news service.)
I'm reasonably happy the EU is interested in shifting profits back away from big tech, and confident the Internet will adjust and survive the reduced viability of the large content platforms.
As a fan of decentralization and quality journalism, and no ties to any company affected positively or negatively by these decisions, I'm on board.
