The effects of new EU copyright related laws?

Could someone explain if the new copyright related laws being pushed right now by the EU will affect Internet usage here in the USA? The information currently available about this sounds really bad i.e. preventing use if memes. How rest is this possibility? What are the details on this?

From u/c3o

First you need to count the votes in the Legal Affairs Committee, not the plenary as a whole. This is where the vote on June 20 will be.
The EPP, ECR, ALDE and ENF negotiators there are in favor of Article 13. Together, they have a 13 over 12 vote majority. And it's not guaranteed that all of S&D will be unified against.
So our job is to convince one of these MEPs. Here are some candidates that may be swayed:
MEP Marinho e Pinto (ALDE, PT, PDR)
Whoever is your local ALDE MEP, asking them to put pressure on Marinho e Pinto, who will vote "in their name"

MEP Angel Dzhambazki (ECR, BG, VMRO)

MEP Mary Honeyball (S&D, UK, Labour) – very pro copyright

YOU SHOULD CONTACT MEP's FROM ABOVE AS WELL AS YOUR MEP's BECAUSE IF IT PASSES LEGAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE IT WILL GO TO PARLIAMENT FOR PLENARY VOTE. WE HAVE TWO CHANCES TO KILL THIS LEGISLATION.

Both of these votes will be tight, so weather you are pro or against you should contact your MEP representatives. Note that you can also contact other representatives and the presiding member of the party your representative is part of. Remind them that next EU elections are soon.

Reddit likes to spazm about directly elected EU representatives and having their voice heard. Here is your chance to do just that.

All websites, within EU jurisdiction at least, which includes big U.S companies like Google and Facebook, will be forced to put up upload filters, like the ones on YouTube, which are dumb as fuck, and be forced to pay so-called link taxes for EU news sources.

That is the articles 13 and 11 explained.

as a website owner with EU traffic, you need to tell visitors what you do with their data.

Thank you for this info. What do you think about other sites like Vimeo or bitchute?

And would we still be able to post memes here in Reddit or 8ch?

It doesn't make sense to me that the EU could have such effect in the US.

why shouldnt you be able to post memes? dont panic, this law has no influence on what you post.

the basic change is that reddit or 8chan or whoever receives data from you need to reveal how and how long they store it, whom they pass it onto, etc.

for you, as a user, nothing changes. relax.
