Anonymous asked: hey mod! just letting you know about the possible other side of article 13. while the new law certainly doesnt protect fan creation and the like, it was designed to help censor extreme fake news sources. outcry about it was spread by alt right leaning youtubers. im not saying theres no cause for concern, but at least this law isnt being made in the same vein as net neutrality.
I know, and that’s the heart breaking part because I want to help protect creators and their content (and stop rampant fake news sources)- but the thing being proposed is like using a hammer to crack a nut, and there’s too many gaps that could allow it to be misused by large corporations. This is the last thing I’ll post about this because I’m giving myself and all of you a headache with it, but I hope you understand and if I’m wrong I’ll come back and delete all these- I just feel strongly about censorship and I don’t want to risk losing something that’s so important for allowing people to connect with each other and create laughter together.
