RT @Ocasio2018@twitter.com: Insurance groups are recommending GoFundMe as official policy - where customers can die if they can’t raise the goal in time - but sure, single payer healthcare is unreasonable.

Today, Europe Lost The Internet. Now, We Fight Back. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/09/today-europe-lost-internet-now-we-fight-back

We'll fight in the 28 European parliaments when they sit to make national legislation.

We'll fight in the upcoming elections.

Hell, even if we'd won tonight's fight, we'd have to keep fighting.

We'll fight in Europe's courts, too: there's no way that asking multinational corporations to send all of our communications to American data-centres to be analysed by algorithms and arbitrarily censored passes European constitutional muster.

This will come up for another vote in January. i'll be honest, this is likely to be a pro forma exercise. It's almost inconceivable that the whole #CopyrightDirective will be voted down. But so long as there's even a tiny chance we can save Europe from this lunacy, we'll fight.

In case you're wondering: the #EU just voted to impose filters on all the text, audio, photos, videos, etc you might post. If you think this will help photographers or other creators, you don't understand filters.

We only have until Wednesday and the vote will be on a hair's-breadth margin. PLEASE visit https://saveyourinternet.eu to do something about it -- and then TELL TWO EUROPEAN FRIENDS about this!
