EU PASSES MASSIVE CHINESE-STYLE INTERNET CENSORSHIP TREATY, CONTENT FILTERING LAWS + HYPERLINK TAX!

The Modern Soviet Union has passed a draconian copyright directive that contains provisions which force tech companies to install content filters and sets in place a tax on hyperlinking.

The most important parts of this are Articles 11 and 13. Article 11 is intended to give publishers and papers a way to make money when companies like Google link to their stories, allowing them to demand paid licenses. Article 13 requires certain platforms (like YouTube and Facebook) to stop users from sharing unlicensed copyrighted material.

Critics of the Copyright Directive say these provisions are disastrous. In the case of Article 11, they note that attempts to “tax” platforms sharing articles!

Article 13, they say, is even worse. The legislation requires that platforms proactively work with rightsholders to stop users uploading copyrighted content. The only way to do so would be to scan all data being uploaded to sites like YouTube and Facebook. This would create an incredible burden for small platforms, and could be used as a mechanism for widespread censorship.

These filters are unaffordable by all but the largest tech companies, all based in the USA, and the only way Europe's homegrown tech sector can avoid the obligation to deploy them is to stay under ten million euros per year in revenue, and also shut down after three years.

America's Big Tech companies would certainly love to install these filters, the possibility of being able to grow unchecked, without having to contend with European competitors, is a pretty good second prize (which is why some of the biggest US tech companies have secretly lobbied for filters).

Some are pointing out that the new copyright push could potentially block or ban memes from being shared on the European internet.

Dark day for internet freedom: The @Europarl_EN has rubber-stamped copyright reform including #Article13 and #Article11. MEPs refused to even consider amendments. The results of the final vote: 348 in favor, 274 against #SaveYourInternetpic.twitter.com/8bHaPEEUk3

This is another reason internet users should be rushing to backup media they want/desire, downloading censorship-resistant software such as Tor and I2P, along with peer-to-peer and torrent clients. If the future of the internet is to remain free, internet users must take action to decentralize and share files over the darkweb, P2P and torrent networks.

I would highly recommend moving over to decentralized networks such as Ares, Soulseek, Tribler, Retroshare, eMule and any other p2p platform you can share banned content on and chat with peers on. Also I would recommend having backups of Tor, I2P and Freenet. Might as well purchase a cheap private VPN service to bypass blocked sites as well.

bumping dire news

Sure seems some are trying to hide this. I'll be posting it more places too.

The sinking ship that is the EU is now also on fire.

Well I won't be conforming to any of their bullshit or laws so yah, they can fuck off. However I do think that they'll place very annoying blockades all over the place that we'll need to be hopping IPs to bypass.

You know what?

In a way this might be Good! news.

This will only piss more and more normfags off once they see more and more obstacles thrown in their way. Maybe, just maybe, they'll wake up already and find the means to bypass it, or innovation will come to find ways around these new blocks, maybe new alternative decentralized platforms will arise in due time to replace the world wide web, so it cannot be censored ever again. Thats what I'm hoping.

In the meantime I hope the EU crumbles for this.

It has been on fire for a while now. This is the fire igniting the gas in the ships septic tank, causing an explosion that flings burning shit over everything within a few miles.


Isn't this another one of those internet regs that hasn't figured out that every 12 year old can get a VPN on every one of their devices?


That's only going to have a noticeable effect once things are too far gone to be worth saving.

Well its funny, because no one seems to give a damn how bad things are right now, so maybe it does take a good knee-jerked swift kick in the face (such as draconian legislation as this) to get people really really upset…. upset enough to do something about it. Angry enough to ignore their damn laws and tell them to eat shit and die. Thats really what I want to see come from this, a fucking rebellion, and new innovations that can be utilized by the masses that prohibit government's ability to do a damn thing about it.

It would take something far more noticeable than this to get the average normie interested in changing things. Remember that most people don't spend as much time online as the average user. If you're looking for that 'good knee-jerked swift kick to the face' it would need to be something along the lines of 'death penalty for wrongthink' or a country like the USA collapsing to the point where its wealthiest areas were living at about the level of the modern third world.

Read up on the psychology involved, it's interesting.

Well I guess at the rate we are going, and the trends of gradual decline, that might be exactly what unfolds within the next 10 to 20 years time. I don't know if I'll be alive to see it, but I would like to see the public get enraged about something, it would be nice to see people still have a bit of boiling blood left in them. When will enough be enough? Someone once said "when you take away their food, then they'll start trying to overthrow their governments." Could be the case.

today I discussed this with cucks on another forum

>The (((EU)))
Glad I'm not living in that shithole.

Start fucking populate the decentralized networks like:
I2p -> geti2p.net/en/
Freenet Project -> freenetproject.org/
Ipfs -> ipfs.io/
Beaker Browser → beakerbrowser.com/
Ipfs -> orion.siderus.io/
Ipfs -> github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop
Zeronet -> zeronet.io/
Retroshare -> retroshare.cc/ (on retroshare are full of 8ch boards just need 5-10 friends)
8ch board over ipfs -> ipfs.io/ipns/boards.ydns.eu/#/
dat/ -> datproject.org/
List of goodies → github.com/gdamdam/awesome-decentralized-web

Remember, normalfags aren't astute. As long as it's done gradually you can take everything from them without a revolution.

as if YOU aren't just another normie.
you can't do jack shit to stop anyone from stepping on you like an insect

GOOD !!!!

fuck you, and fuck your internet access

BREAKING NEWS !!
none of you have any 'rights' to the internet

THANK YOU user, FOR CONTRIBUTING.

I'm currently sharing a lot of stuff on p2p networks, sharing over 100,000 files and there ain't nothing they can do about it. I also have p2p clients and the Tor browser that I share too, encase they happen to vanish from the web. P2P is the future and we all need to contribute and share on there, and make it grow.

As long as there is an internet, I will openly defy people like you. Your hatred and defeatism is a form of cancer and that is only making things worse today.

Cheer up. We do have power. We have Tor, we have I2P, we have P2P, we have Bit Torrent, we have IPFS, we have decentralized platforms for chatting like Retroshare that can't be taken down or censored. And at some point I'm going to invest in another computer, find the perfect alternative operating system, load all this stuff up onto onto one OS with a 4TB external drive and share the shit out of the mass backups of everything I have all over decentralized platforms. And there won't be any stopping it unless the government nukes the fucking grid and shuts everything down at once.

At least I'm prepared for that too.

I don't get why companies even pretend to care about shit like that.
Giant globalist companies*

How is the (((EU))) going to levy any fines and taxes on a foreign company?

Well that would be very stupid for a government to do, but I guess they could ruin the entire internet and face being overthrown by the entire disgruntled planet. But in any case, I'm prepped for grid-down if need be (not just internet outages, total grid-down). I'd recommend others be too. Easy first step: take into account and make a list of everything you rely on for electricity and then come up with ways you can manage each activity without it. Its 100% possible. Research the 1910s and 1920s and look at all their common products. Hint: they're all still available at antique shops and thrift stores if needed! ;)

the best way to guess the future of your internet experience is to look at the past history of your internet experience. if it continues at this rate, you won't have ANY freedom of choice online whatsoever in 6 or 7 years.

And that's a good thing, because the internet is exactly why you haven't done anything with your lives.

we would like a real-time demonstration of your preparedness, so please unplug your computer for 30 days.

the fact that you can't go 30 minutes proves that you're less prepared than the average person.

anything that discourages you from going online and eventually completely prevents your ability to access the internet would be the best thing that ever happened to you since the day you were born.

There are times I have before. Its not too hard. It gets tempting every once in a while when you want to get back on, but that passes quickly. Its not so bad. I do take breaks once in a while, when I feel appropriate or need to work on something.

I like the internet as it was in the 90s. Thats why I'm on simple sites such as this. Basic communication, basic chat and file sharing. Its fun, especially when you get old and are retired and have less to do. I prepped for just about everything already, mind you I've been doing this, what? 25 years or so now. I got more than most people could fathom. I have a loaded 9mm on my desk when I sit next to a computer, ready to go if need be. So I ain't too worried, I just like chatting on here and posting news.

but I don't really see any benefit from coming to this chatroom

They could kill 60M Americans and no one would lookaround their iPhone to bat an eye.

20 years, 5 months & 18 days

Me too.

Then why are you here, to get paid by Jim to post?

If so, gosh, he must love me lol.

the internet is EXACTLY why each of us is unhappy

I am afraid I will forget to delete an account if I leave. Or I won’t get to store terabytes of books I don’t read. Or I’ll have to think of something to do besides work, eat, and metaphorically jack to the smut.

I'm happy. You have to take breaks once in a while. But even when I gripe about these issues (REAL NEWS) I'm still happy complaining and griping.

If the internet makes you upset that means take a break, and I mean physically unplug that God damn modem and leave it off for 12 hours, then come back on the next day.

Well those are zombie creatures then, I don't think they're living to be honest. There's a certain point between an internet addict and a zombie:

An internet addict would be like me: I spend about 6 to 7 hours a day chatting, reading/posting news and sharing files via p2p (almost) every single day.

However a zombie is on 8 hours or more every single day, uses mainstream platforms, iPhones, walks around everywhere with a screen to their face (even in public) and won't talk face to face…. those are zombie creatures.

Somewhat true but still wrong. You would be surprised just how many people use p2p and just how much you CAN find. I use Soulseek a lot, which has about 2 million users. An average person is sharing somewhere around 8,000 to 10,000 files. Some less, some share much much more. You can find all kinds of things. Not only all kinds of music, not only tv shows, not only movies, not only porn, not only software, not only ebooks, but much more stuff including political stuff being shared. Its almost endless what you can find on there as long as you search for it. And Soulseek is not even the most popular p2p out there! There are others with even more global users than that.

Now here's my point: we don't need the normies, because they have nothing to offer us anyway! Did our Founding Fathers rely on every rebel to join their cause? NO. It took 3% of them to defeat the British Army!! So think about it that way and don't give up like a normie faggot. Help us decentralize the net (and by doing so, saving it)!!!

Damn it Johhny, come back! I was going to show you something!

sorry, I was helping Wendy with the new cat

and by the way, my fascination with with Elvis has very little to do with his music, and EVERYTHING to do with how dynamic he was as a human being, as a spirit, and the way he turned the world on its ear…

He had an amazing voice, nobody can deny that fact. One of a kind, and it projected, connecting with people from every corner of this planet, somehow making it almost as if you could literally 'see' him standing in front of you as he sang.

And I've listened to every Elvis song ever recorded hundreds of times over, but still that's not my primary focus regarding my fascination with him.

I'm literally mesmerised by how powerful one little disenfranchised broke white trash kid from tupelo Mississippi became, changing history, and becoming the most famous human being on planet Earth (still to this day)

Basically what I'm trying to say is that Elvis Presley is my 'jesus' figure

Attached: elvis-in-heart-america-03.jpg (2405x1938, 2.16M)

lmao

I would imagine that somebody like you would have something negative to say about Elvis, especially considering the fact that he's still listed as having had more sex than any other human being in history, based on the simple mathematics:

He would engage in sexual activity with up to 35 women at a time, over and over again, like a revolving door, day after day after day.

Yeah…. I can see how that would bother you.

Rockabilly boomers please leave

Interesting that you take my implication, that he was jewish, to be a negative. I'll be sure and write that down.

It probably took 35 groupies and dopewhores at once to satisfy him as well as a good woman would have all by herself.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
one of the things that fascinates me about him is the many dichotomies…

How he seemed like a 'jesus' AND a 'devil' simultaneously….

how he was a really, really nice guy who loved his mother and was super polite and didn't like cussing, was always overly concerned with helping other people, etc., but who was also a drug-fueled violent insane sexual madman who wanted to destroy himself.

he was one of a kind, alright

Hahahaha

Earlier tonight, I decided to go on to a website for a company with a live chat customer service rep, and I did my classic 'incessant complaining, cussing articulately, while still maintaining somewhat of a friendly sense of humor' routine.

And they offered to send me three of their products free in the mail.

without me ever having to provide any proof that I had purchased the original product that I complained about.

I still got it

*huffs a breath of steam on to my knuckles, then rub them on my chest, buffing them with my shirt*

Yep…… I still got the magic

The caveat :

It's going to take 3 to 4 weeks for them to send me the three bottles of e-liquid

(you'd be amazed at how much you can get by simply complaining)

Copyright is a violence service the state provides to approved, paying, compliant customers. Oh, and the government is evil, so you should have seen this coming.

cause fucking the environment, cheap oil, cheap labor, and automation have reduced cost of goods to near zero.

whatever you are getting it's practically worthless.

My major focus of my complaint earlier:

"Tastes Like Shit !!"

After assuring them that I was a loyal customer, and a 'walking billboard for their company', I told them I had purchased one of their other products in good faith, assuming it would be just as quality as the other products I have tried of theirs….

And then I started cussing, telling them that "if I was talking to one of my friends, I would tell them that this new product suck balls, that it tastes like shit, and they would be better off eating a pile of fucking shit than buying this product"

And that's when the customer service rep named Jennifer offered to send me three bottles of the product I prefer as a gesture from the company, hoping to keep me as a happy customer.

when i create something, you have no fucking right to take it.

Everything is worthless… Everything I've ever thought was important has absolutely no value whatsoever, including this chat room.

amen

correction:

They can take it all they want….

(Take it up the ass)

If they don't have the money to pay for it, they can create their own goddamn product…

(Unless you're talking about me, because I'm 'special', and I believe that complaining to the customer service reps is a form of currency)
