[Gambas-user] EU Politics: Upload-Filters

[Christof Thalhofer]

Hi,

maybe you have heard of it. The EU wants to direct providers to install
upload filters.

Anyone who provides public services on the internet that allow the
distribution of content should be held liable for copyright infringements:

https://juliareda.eu/2019/02/brutal-article-13-finalise/
https://juliareda.eu/2019/02/artikel-13-endgueltig/

The Big 5 (Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook und Amazon) are able to do
that (install upload filters), but nearly every other not. Not to
mention the fact that filters allow censorship this legislative
initiative would destroy the internet as we know it.

For example: We would need to install an upload-filter for this
mailinglist ... impossible!

If you are Europeans, please ... activate your parliament member:

"Our best bet: The final vote in the plenary of the European Parliament,
when all 751 MEPs, directly elected to represent the people, have a
vote. This will take place either between March 25 and 28, on April 4 or
between April 15 and 18. We’ve already demonstrated last July that a
majority against a bad copyright proposal is achievable."

Thank you!

Alles Gute

Christof Thalhofer
