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

OH so they are basically forcing original content? About fucking time, there only so many times I can be bothered to sift through 300 WEBMs to find the 5 new posts ever couple of days.

They're enforcing censorship of wrongthink, under the guise of copyright protection. Putting the censorship system into place is the first step. Then it can be used to block rare pepe memes, or porn, or other things entirely like bad goy videos (even if those abide by the copyright laws). Once the system is in place, they'll do wtf they want with it.

Exactly this!

Well then we just meme things like coca-cola and mcdonalds, snake foods etc into being symbols of extremism and start getting adverts aimed at making people fat and diabetic banned outright by the filter system.

That's not how it works. Rare memes to be taken would need to be claimed by someone.
Implying social media doesn't censor already bad goy content..

Yeah the positives to this, is corporate shilling will become harder from Europe, or if you see shilling done with copyrighted memes or products (boomer + monster drink, unreleased movies or movies in theaters now) you know it's a corporate shill.
Atleast they don't get free advertising from Yuropoors. But those filters could be so very oopsiedoopsied to include symbols, phrases, words, certain people and so on.
The good does not outweigh the terrible by a long shot in this.

That's not how it works. Now if you make a drawing let's say of a red frog with big eyes, you own the copyright to that image.
Only corporations and parasites are against this.
