Article 13 has passed.

[Constitutional Technocracy of Minecraft]

While I oppose this law, this probably won't end memes, let alone the internet. Such apocalyptic prophecies for the internet have been circulated for many laws regarding the internet, from the takedown of ShareReactor to the repeal of net neutrality. The European Parliament will have a final vote on the issue in January 2019 before enacting the law, and the law explicitly allows satire (although AIs could do a second adpocalypse). Also, not all memes involve copyrighted material.

But just in case, we should all make Article 13 a meme so it has to ban itself

The Internet is way ahead of you on that one.

[The Lone Alliance]

It never had public support but you see the EU doesn't care what the public wants, the EU knows what's best for the public and the public should shut up about it.

Kind of like what most politicians believe these days "The people are too stupid to know what they want, therefore they need us and the media to tell them what they want".

Will NS have to lock out the EU soon, I mean people here post flags that are copywritten images under fair use...

But it still consists of individuals who are elected by member states' respective constituents.

And then once they're in office they do whatever people with a lot of money pay them to do. That's how modern politics works.

How can you prove the public doesn't support this?

Simply because there's no crowds of people in the streets of the EU cheering it's passing and that this entire thing was done mostly under the table media wise.

How did they circumvent its will?

Where in the EU was a massive outcry of "WE NEED TO PROTECT COPYRIGHT HOLDERS MORE", no where, for the most part people in general do not give a flying fuck about Copyright infringement... the only people who care are Rich IP holders.

And that's the only will politicians serve in the end.

America, Home of the meme, because of the kek. RIP Europe.

Even though it's been explained this is not a meme ban.
