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

my take is they are hiding censorship and forcing others to shut down a lot of the WWW under the PRETEXT of "creators need to get paid".
Why can't some nerds invent an Open Source distributed "file sharing" based system to replace Big Tech "platforms" like Facebook, Twitter, and even the Chans? So what if it entails a 4 second delay in downloading memes or something.
What I don't get about tech monopoly (besides Google that actually does something) is why if these firms spring up so fast and take market from each other, why some more hip Open Source distributed thingy can't replace them, with the added hip-ness of being free and not all Corp, etc.
I just like to quote the EU’s claim from the FAQ page

With the new rules*, will the use of “snippets” be forbidden?
Even the UK government supported the directive in response to the petition.
