EU internet upload filters

[Guest N/A]

So in all the Brexit shit, the EU have smoke screened in a new law that will affect all aspects of internet use.   They have sneakily voted in favor of upload filters which will bring about wide spread censorship of the interweb.

Basically they don’t want anyone using the web to tell people in France how well we will be doing post Brexit.    

More alarmingly teenagers will not be able to download porn.     Tell them that before they vote, the fucking thick cunts.   That will change their support for this unelected nazi Government when snapface is shut down.

sites like this will be shut down for sure, for being way too liberal gay and ethnic loving.

The only web pages left will be John Lewis and the BBC, which is the propaganda channel for the EU.  All other web pages will be shut down including Autotrader due to copyright laws on pictures of cars.  

Utter fucking wankers, killing the interweb.  Cunts.

Eh? This yet another scare story about t'interent control by the state. In fact this item, which was hardly "smoke screened" in, is about the EU Copyright Directive which is all about protecting content creators having their work replicated for free. The directive was pushed by the printed press who having paid journalists to source and report news, found their copy was being replicated by news aggregators for free. Local news titles were especially hit and many local newspapers closed as a result. Most of us understand the need to copywrite material yet people seem to think they are entitled to read news content for free on the www. There was controversy surrounding articles 11 & 13 of the directive as doomsayers were saying this would signal the end of internet memes, however the directive allows for this.

Don't know about you, but I think I could probably survive without them. Just.

Local newspapers were disappearing long before the internet. It intensified after the first BBC local radio stations appeared increasing when the local commercial station came on the air. Further pressure came for the local advertising rags that were pushed through every door. The argument over "people reading them for free" is hardly logical. The adverts are local ads with no relevance outside the newspapers areaHow many people from Plymouth would go out to by the Bolton Guardian or the Tintwistle Gazette? Another issue is that for the past 60 years the local titles have gradually been bought by National publishing companies and are no longer locally owned with the companies no longer using local journalists or paying photographers. I regularly pick up "local" newspapers here in Devon and find "articles" that have simply been gleaned from social media or by people texting to their websites and articles then put together by people who have no knowledge of the area about which they are writing .. so the plea "love your local journalism is bullshit" . The world has changed. The ones that do seem to be doing better are the ones with little or no internet presence. The real problem with social media or online publishing is the irritating way that adverts are pushed at you. Rather than sitting passively as in a real newspaper so you can read the article and then perhaps look at the advertising columns you are forced to see a totally irrelevant advert. On facebook etc it is far worse with the supposedly carefully selected "suggested posts". advertising a smart car garage or the woolhamption ladies snail racing circle being pushed at you along with flashing "message alerts" that are simply gifs pushing adverts. 30 years ago you would buy your local newspaper for the news and the local adverts but you had the choice to be able to read the news without the adverts flashing at you are suddenly popping up in place of the advert and of course you had no "love your local journalism" guilt banner suddenly blocking the article you were reading.
