hhahahahahahhaha
lolololololololol this
If they don't abide by it, the eu has every right to block their sites and that means revenue loss
So long faggots!
>pretending EU is relevant at all.
Suppose so. How do we bypass it?
>us companies must
The EU can suck a dick, we don't have to do shit.
Do you know how much of the world runs on US companies?
Kill us now. Release your golden boys from your silos. We need release from thos torment.
And microsoft may stop supporting them in return. FULL CIRCLE
People would only comply if the cost of compliance is less than the lost revenue. Considering they want a fucking filter compliance would be incredibly expensive.
Yeah, we'll listen to the EU on this like we listened to the UN on small arms. Nothing changing here.
STOP WRONGTHINKING GOYS
WE JUST WANT TO SCAN AND FILE EVERYTHING YOU UPLOAD GOYS, WHO CARES IF IT GOES INTO A DATABASE GOYS
STOP RESISTING
GET FUCKED YUROS LMAO
So what? I can't access BBC News anymore?
I guess all my searches for BBC will be for what I was actually searching for in the first place now. Sounds like a win to me.
Any US company that wants lose a ton of money and probably quickly go out of business will quickly adopt to these censorship heavy EU standards. The rest of the sane companies will tell the increasingly irrelevent EU where to go - directly to hell.
SJW tears will flow once again, they won't be able to censor the internet this way....waaaaaaaaaa.

lul just find non EU/US social networks/forums/idk?
There's no upload filter you faggot, just possibility that somebody can sue you for copyrighted material and those who will sue will all be American companies.
Has been discussed to death on here.
Funny thing is that A. normies aren't interested and B. typical answers on Jow Forums are, use VPNs, the EU will fall apart and hahahaha lololol.
This is serious shit and people should do something about it. The real vote will be on 4 July. Call your freaking politicians in your country for Christ's sake and demand they stop fucking up the internet.
>that means revenue loss
For you amerimutts
>There's no upload filter you faggot, just possibility that somebody can sue you for copyrighted material
The proposal says websites accessible to the public need to have technological processes in place which disallow that copyrighted material gets even shown in the first place.
There is only one way to accomplish this: upload filters which are censorship tools.
This whole thing will drive most discussion blogs and smaller companies out of Europe, leaving the whole market to Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat.
Yeah, the cucks will do that, but that's not an order, that's just your private cuck responsibility as prevention again getting sued in case somebody uploads copyrighted material. We are reaching the "somebody" illusion really hard, but it will be private cuck companies who will do these filters on their own once again to avoid getting sued.
DEATH TO THE EU
>No more leftists shitpostng on Jow Forums
kk. gg no rly.
Not sure what you are talking about. Once again, you are required to have these processes in place. Otherwise anyone can immediately claim damages from you for anything uploaded which is copyright protected. Essentially, you can hire some dude who uploads 50 copyrighted pictures and then you sue for 500,000 dollars, killing any small company. The only way you could evade damages under the new law is if you can show you have put in place "technological processes" (aka upload filters) that were supposed to ensure copyright violations do not happen.
Summer is upon us.
Job is slow.
Can't wait to work my way around this.
>>No more leftists shitpostng on Jow Forums
No more Europeans shitposting on Jow Forums, correct. If you like to just talk to Australians, Canadians and Nigerians, fine. Be my guest.
Funny how the normies get all riled up when you mention net neutrality, but this overt and direct attack on the freedom on the internet is never mentioned.
Makes you wonder what (((they))) think of each of these issues.
>us companies must abide by the eu policies
welp time to kill euros
can't say that I'm sorry to see you go
What are you required, tell me.
What companies do you protect, tell me.
Show me the law that names that.
How do you expect this to work? I will tell you how: Taylor Swift who's name is copyrighted has money, hires lawyers, they give a call to ISP, then ISPs give instruction to you what to do. Oh you think your little company will be part of filter? What kind of fairy tale you living in? Every year million of companies get created and die in small country. Nah, you will get a call from American companies like Taylor Swift.
Do it faggots
Just fucking do it
crash the Euro with no survivors
USSR 2.0
Oh really, what did Soviet Union filter besides foreigners? Nothing. KGB collected street addresses of political enemies. Google collects your every search you free bird of free trade moron.
>Funny how the normies get all riled up when you mention net neutrality, but this overt and direct attack on the freedom on the internet is never mentioned.
It isn't mentioned because the mass media wants this to pass. They don't want competition from start-ups and they want to go back to the great old days of pre-internet society. They want the early 1990s back when we could just passively stare on a screen, be it a TV or a computer, without interacting with anyone else except maybe on some private usenet group.
You really know shit about internet if you think usenet or this censure will stop anything. Censure only stops public internet, i can exchange trillions of data with my own programs trading computer to computer. Internet isn't just shitty websites.
>Internet isn't just shitty websites.
That is like saying we don't need ships on the oceans because we have submarines and surfbords and kanus.
I have chatrooms, data transfers, voice/video on my programs where i exchange data, i don't need to step for a second on any Web Site. 10000 people go to store, buy something, pirate it and we exchange it through the program, very simple. This might not even be against the law, since it isn't public, it's like a gift i give somebody.
>Oh really, what did Soviet Union filter besides foreigners?
Ask the Polish
>Poland under Soviet rule
The occupation was accompanied by Sovietisation policies: property was confiscated, nationalised, and redistributed. According to the Soviet law, all residents of the annexed area automatically acquired Soviet citizenship. Still, actual conferral of citizenship required individual agreement. The refugees who opted out were threatened with repatriation to Nazi controlled territories of Poland.[11]
In addition, all institutions of the dismantled Polish state were closed and reopened under the Soviet appointed supervisors. This also meant that all Polish parties and organizations were disbanded.[12] only the Communist Party was allowed to exist with other organizations subordinated to it. Furthermore, Polish currency was withdrawn from circulation without any exchange to the newly-introduced rouble, which meant that the entire population of the area lost all of their life savings overnight.[13] To diminish the possibility of any open criticism of the changes, the media was subordinated to Moscow’s control.
Changes were also carried out in social and cultural sphere. For example, all religions were persecuted. Moreover, Polish literature and language studies were suspended while any political or cultural references to the preceding Polish state were removed.
They already did some sort of block in Spain. It was so costly that Google News no longer operates in Spain. I don't think the revenue loss was that big a deal
Adorable! As goes the USA, so goes the internet. The EU got confused and thought it mattered, too.
o ensure the whole population succumbed to new rules and to get rid of the opponents, the Soviet Union conducted a series of repressions including mass-killings and deportations. Communist ideology was used to justify the killings. Namely, the Soviet authorities regarded service to the pre-war Polish state as a "crime against the revolution" and "counter-revolutionary activity". Subsequently, large numbers of Polish intelligentsia, politicians, civil servants and scientists were arrested whereas also other people suspected of posing a threat to the Soviet rule were persecuted. Altogether, the Soviets arrested approximately 100,000 Polish citizens, among them the former Prime Ministers Leon Kozłowski and Aleksander Prystor. Furthermore, the NKVD aimed its repression campaign against the Polish communists and socialists who did not obey orders from Moscow. Many of them were arrested and imprisoned.[14] In addition, there were four mass deportations from 1940-41 where at least 350,000 people, including former officials, officers, and the clergy and their families were sent to Siberia and other distant locations within the Soviet Union. Men were sent to labour camps or the Soviet Army while women and children were forced into captivity in harsh living conditions.
Soviets occupied Poland, that's like Hitler occupying countries, has nothing to do with Socialism, it's simple conquering. It was British job to protect Poland btw, you failed.
Since they only had state operated media internally that means they filtered everything you tool
This nigger knows what's up. I can't say I never need to rely on the web, but the universe of IRC, mailing lists, etc is pretty immense.
>Soviets occupied Poland, that's like Hitler occupying countries, has nothing to do with Socialism
You claimed the Soviets filtered NOTHING I gave you a Soviet satelite country (Poland) and what they filtered there, I could probably do the same with East Berlin too, sorry you cant handle the facts and resorting to a WW2 British strawman argument makes you look childish
Don't bother replying
so glad i live in the only based nation in EU that has the balls to say no fuck off to the EU while the rest are still cucked into taking it from drunkers and merkin
Communistic collective manages itself, everything is voted in street, school, company since it's collectively owned by workers. And in another cultural town where perhaps Muslims live, then they do the same thing, once culture town doesn't communicates with another, you got Communistic police aka KGB guarding the limits and they also guard against other countries. So Soviet country doesn't manages towns, they only manage borders, cultural divisions, army and iron industry and such important intercultural industry. Soviet government doesn't bothers itself with what happens in cultural area, those people censure themselves however they vote for and they don't care, neither think about other cultural areas, even less other countries.
Soviets didn't even slaughter Polish, they gave them a lot of freedom. Hitler would remove many of them. What did Brits do whenever you conquered? You took over resources, Poland could manage own resources, they just had to pay a certain trade amount to Soviets, which trade amount is now much higher paid to USA in this freedom.
>Soviets didn't even slaughter Polish, they gave them a lot of freedom.
God i'd love a a Pole to show up right about now
The story is this: Russian tsars always wanted to have Polish land and kill them, so did Germans, either Germany monarchs(kaisers) or Hitler's Socialists. They wanted that land. But then something happened, Bolshevisk killed the tsar, so Russia left world war 1, so tsar couldn't slaughter the Poles, but later Stalin and Hitler still wanted that land and not even Stalin slaughtered them, only tsars wanted them dead and maybe Hitler a little.
