Europe’s New Copyright Rules Are Like YouTube’s Content ID System—for the Entire Internet

The European Union wants to take the upload filters that make no one happy and apply them to all content on the internet.

It’s the end-game for Europe’s catastrophic upload filters—and time is running out.

Under the provisions of Article 13 of the proposed new EU Copyright Directive, any service that allows users to post text, sound, or video for public consumption must implement a copyright filter that checks to see whether user contributions match (or are similar to) known copyrighted works. Works that match the filter are censored.

The EU Just Took A Disastrous Step Towards Destroying The Internet

Another day, another threat to the open and free Internet. Earlier this month, the US officially repealed net neutrality rules. Now, the EU has voted in favor of legislation that could censor the Internet.

Called the Copyright Directive, the legislation has been widely derided by pretty much anyone who knows anything about the Internet. This morning, the EU’s Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) approved it, meaning it will now go to the full European Parliament for a vote in July, after which it could come into law.
