THIS IS FUCKING BIG YOU RETARDS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_on_Copyright_in_the_Digital_Single_Market
Alright guys, was a honor to shitpost with you all, but sadly the EU has finally sold itself completely to the NWO. Today at about 12 pm UTC the EU parliament will vote for the new copyright directive, which effectively places every single website under the obligation to implement upload filters.
They did it, they finally did it, they are going to destroy the internet we all love and will censor our opinions. The European part of 4chan is going to die.
I will miss you, and to all you Britbongs, leave the EU as fast as you can, save yourselves, we might live on through you.
THEY PASSED IT ALL, ALL EURO POSTERS WILL SOON LOSE ACCESS TO 4CHAN AND 8CHAN AND MANY MANY SITES
THEY PASSED THE WAY 20 MINUTES AGO

exactly the same as what new zealand has done, 8chan is entirely blocked by kiwis now
now the EU has passed a law in which they can takedown 4chan & 8chan in the ENTIRE EU and possibly they will put this into the UK split and force this on them too
this is the beginning of the rope my friend

8ch is no longer blocked in NZ.

It shocks to me to read that 8chan was blocked in New-Zealand in the first place. Why would the New Zealandian authorities do that?

Sauce? What part of the article states this?

Maybe it means the end of centralized servers and websites, neither of which I particularly care about. I was posting on Usenet from a SunOS shell account (dialed in from a DOS computer running QModemPro) before the web shit got popularized and then inevitably subverted.

return of unix skills being sexy instead of barely understood by coffeeshop JS hipsters. The web is not the internet.

Agreed. Even without these stupid directives all corporate-run centralized portals are dying. Between DMCA-like of filter based copyright censorship all over the world, content id, and libtards putting pressure to remove anything and deplatform anyone that can remotely be considered offensive, it is only a matter of time.
