So, just in case you hadn't heard, the EU will be voting on the controversial and potentially dangerous Article 13 on 12 September. In case you don't remember from the last time this was an issue, this would require platforms to screen and remove copyrighted material from their pages.

No knowledge about the Internet and not having any connection to it but destroying it for the new generation. Nice, EU!

Dramatic title I know, but I urge you to watch this video from Film Theory explaining the context of the law and how a law in the EU affects creators everywhere in the world. This law could be implemented by the end of the year, gutting the internet of so many beautiful things. I am genuinely frightened because it could affect things beyond YouTube and Facebook.
