Alright, it is May and thus it has begun.
Yes, the Copyright Directive was voted in by both Parliament and Council in the EU. Yes, they ignored all our protests and warnings, they shrugged us off while calling us everything from bots, mobs to freaking jihadists, while catering to their own private profit and agendas. They forced in the TERREG which is just the demand of censorship and filtering they lied to not be included in the Copyright Directive, just using new taglines for excuses to try and control the public's outcry. They proved their hold on the newspapers and public press to try and silence us.
They did all this... while ignoring the most important of our warnings.
We are not bots. We are not a blind, angry mob they can insult and ignore.
We are... VOTERS.
We told them that from the very start! We are the public, the people, the citizens. They proved to us, they are not our representatives. They got used to the ideas of being representatives in the EU made them invulnerable, that they are untouchable dictators as long they bow to the Council. But now it's our time to remind them, that it is not so.
It is May. If you are European Citizen, and of voting age, this is your time. All over the Internet you can find lists with the names of MEP's who was in favour of the Copyright Directive and its broken articles. It is time we make truth of our threat. Members of the EU Parliament we at least get a say over. Time to kick out the traitors who sold us out for personal gain and a freaking Russian gas pipeline. Time to vote in people we have a better chance of listening to us. People who can help dismantling the broken Copyright Directive and TERREG before it is given a chance to do permanent damage to free speech as we know it on the Internet.
For once, go vote. For once, don't vote blank. Actually go and VOTE. All of our effort so far hasn't been in vain, despite what some people will try and claim, considering the results. We still had been heard, and the more they try to silence us, the more it proves we need to keep speaking up.
Not European Citizen or of voting age? Keep on spreading the word. Keep reminding people the fight is still going on. This is something that WILL affect us all over the long run. We are talking about the freedom of the GLOBAL Internet here. We are all into this together.
Thank you for taking your time to read this. I might be getting tired myself, but the fight isn't over just yet.
