Bad news coming out of the countries of the EU. The EU parliament has forced through the Copyright Directive Article 13 and it's accompanying link tax amendment Article 11. As of now, the EU has made the decision that it would be best to ignore the people of the EU and force through these damaging articles in hopes to control all we own on the internet. Making it impossible for starting up businesses to oppose business giants. Making it impossible to use fair use policies against share holders claiming content. And it's made it impossible for anyone but Mainstream Media to front the link taxes that will be charged to use any hyperlink for a news story or article. Shutting down alt-media as a whole. This is a dark day for our internet. And more so for the internet users of the EU. It's more important now, than ever before, to prepare a VPN. If you do not have one, there many places to try. NordVPN being one of many. Do some research and see what VPN is right for you. Because there will be a point where there will be no way to use the internet properly without one. If such a day will come.
