They’re trying to make impossible the use of internet photo MEMES:

Even total dullards can get the point of a meme (which is often political) in 1 second.

People pass them around —they’re free and effective as all hell.

Elites HATE them.

The goal is total control over all dissemination of information.

That's just a small part of it. The goal of the corporate world is to get rid of the concept of the public domain entirely. Copyright shall be forever.

Doesn’t affect us.

If JimRob and JohnRob maintain servers in Europe, they would have to conform to EU rules.

Time for Trump and Congress to get involved like they did with the carbon tax that the EU tried to impose on international flights. Just pass a law making it illegal for companies operating in the US to comply. Moveable object gets squashed by unstoppable force.

Isn’t it odd that no one seems concerned about the cat5 hurricane that is crossing the column’s path? Did it go away?
