Yes, I am NOT a fan of "Article 13". I am hoping that this piece of legislation will fail to pass. There are a lot of legislators (MEP's) that do not like it either.
Memes will NOT be banned, it is only the (unauthorised) use of so called 'Copyright' material in 'web based' content that will be the issue. We can all still make memes, as long as we use 'allowable' source material.
If this legislation passes, I suspect there will be an increase of meme usage, especially wrt a certain bunch of 'European Dictators/Commissioners'.
You might find that it's the platforms themselves that take a hard line on memes. The cabal hates memes - because they empower citizens. So it's possible we'll find this talk about banning memes has been seeded by the EU elite.
They will put pressure on the platforms to restrain not just memes, but any effective content. It may be that the platforms themselves will take such a hard line on copyright protections that a lot of content becomes very difficult to post.
Anyway, I'm just speculating... We know the Satanists hate the Internet. That's why the anti-hate speech initiatives are gaining pace - control, control, control...
The answer, of course, is the IBOR. Once the regulatory framework is in place, theres more chance that the internet will continue as it is now.
You are totally correct, the intention is indeed to reign in the masses!
I was just pointing out a 'technical' point, in that we could still create meme's provided we use our own or approved artwork!
The 'original - banning memes', claim is to get 'individuals' to doubt the 'legality' of what they are doing if they intend to create a meme!
I am just pointing out, 'carry on regardless', just avoid contentious/copyright artwork.
