#8.2 - How the EU will require all "information platforms" to spy on everything you post
<html>
<h2><img src="https://preview.ibb.co/f9MZKo/free_speech_1024x679.jpg" width="640" height="424"/><br>
<br>
The European Union is about to pass a potential "patriot act" for freedom of speech online, and require Facebook and Twitter to look at EVERYTHING you post!<br>
&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Earlier today - on the 20th of june, around 10am - I watched one of the most horrific things I have ever witnessed when it comes to the internet, as it relates to free speech, privacy, and a long list of other possible dissolvement of the inherent right of the information society.</p>
<p>I watched the chilling experience of the European Union passing a revised version of the Copyright Directives from 2001 - which largely maintains the status quo for online copyright, fair use, etc. - with a few MAJOR exceptions, however.<br>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just trying to describe it gives me the chills, but the essence of, especially article 13 is:</p>
<p><em><strong>Any "large information service provider", and/or platform - (such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit or streaming and blogging platforms, etc.) - will be required to "vet" your content for copyrighted material, before they allow you to post this content on their platforms.</strong></em></p>
<p>The above is a <em>TL;DR</em> summary of the rules specified in Article 13, of the entire directives, which can be found in your local language, on <a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A52016PC0593">the official EUR-lex, here</a>.<br>
&nbsp;</p>
<p>At first glance, it may seem like reasonable measures, to ensure the rights of artists or works from abuse through internet platforms, and obstruct someone from monetizing others' work, and violating intellectual property rights (if such a thing exists - which I do believe it does, to a certain extent).</p>
<p>It means that other people cannot upload copyrighted content to<em> "Information society service providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users"</em> - so, basically - the law we already have today, but implemented pre-emptivitely, and requiring content distributors to "weed out" potentially copyright infringing material from user posted content.</p>
<p>And as is to be expected, the wording of this proposed directive revision, is so bureaucratically vague, that it opens up the doors to potential censorship, in a form we only see very few places in the world today.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The potential and foreseeable issues with pre-emptive copyright censorship are (in my mind) quite obvious, but in my next post I will outline some of the intended and unintended(?) consequences, if the directive is passed next month; why we should all care and act, and how it underpins the need for decentralized, immutable platforms, of a wide variety, and why SteemIt isn't a viable solution (yet).<br>
&nbsp;</p>

Minor Correction
You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence: <blockquote>The potential and forseeable issues with pre-emptive copyright censorship are (in my mind) quite obvious, but in my next post I will outline some of the intended and unintended(?) consequences, if the directive is passed next month; why we should all care and act, and how it underpins the need for decentralized, immutable platforms, of a wide variety, and why SteemIt isn't a viable solution (yet).</blockquote> It should be <i>foreseeable</i> instead of <i>forseeable</i>.

That is hilarious. As the network media have no mandate on dealing with such issues.
