Internet censorship: now it is (almost) perfect!

Largely unnoticed by the public, the EU Parliament in Brussels has passed a new copyright law.

It requires the big internet platforms such as YouTube and Facebook to check content for copyright infringements using automatic upload filters. What at first glance looks like a favour to copyright holders is in truth a further step towards total internet censorship.

In this way, certain “politically incorrect” statements can be hidden automatically at any time and withheld from the public. Responsibility for posts is thereby shifted onto the operators, who are only too willing to cooperate, since otherwise they would face heavy fines.
