Meanwhile, the EU has voted to kill the Internet as we know it and possibly aid in creating an even bigger surveillance machine in the process.
Civil disobedience is the way forward on this one. We redouble our efforts to create decentralised alternatives and if they’re deemed illegal by this myopic legislation, so be it. Fuck ’em. We go to jail if we need to.
If you had any illusions that the battle for personhood and human rights would be easier in our age, think again.
So, as you may have read, the European Parliament voted today as follows:
#Article13 (upload filters)
Passed: 366 for, 297 against
#Article 11 (link tax)
Passed: 393 for, 279 against
(They also banned people taking unofficial video or photos of sports events ⚽ ? ? )
So, close but not enough ?
However, this was not the final vote. There will be more negotiations and a final vote in spring of 2019.
I would advise following Julia Reda, one of the good MEPs:
Your reaction to #article13 should not depend on whether it passes. The people who pushed it need to be punished whether it passes or not. We need to build censorship-proof, decentralized infrastructure whether it passes or not.
Citizens of the EU! ??
The second vote on #Article13 is tomorrow!
Please call/mail your MEPs *now* and tell them to reject Article 13, as it would mean content filters on the whole internet.

Phone calls work best. If you can't phone, write an email *in your own words*. (Using your own words is really important!)
Your region may have more than one MEP, contact several if appropriate.
Good luck! ?
EU people! ??
