It’s all discussion and messaging that the government doesn’t want discussed.

There’s a reason Britain chose Brexit and it wasn’t economic or national pride - it was and is because the EU is becoming a totalitarian state towards implementing a one world government.

I would think Google and Bing should just go on strike and refuse to serve any pages to EU IP addresses for a few days.

Or, they could just target the IP addresses serving EU offices, which would be hilarious.

Exactly. This type of behavior achieves only one thing, an equal change in our behavior. Once they’ve control over what can be published they’ll think they’ve won, when all they’ve really achieved is empowering people to find new ways.

Typical communist socialists — make money off of something that they didn’t create. The primary reason why people use it is because it is free and it thrives for this very reason.

It’s going to be fun in the final days of the EU when the headchoppers get all these socialist dhimmis and stick their heads on spikes...

Wrath of the Memes:

People using photos and pasting on witty words was TOTALLY KILLING The Establishment; in a single 3-second glance Joe Six Pack GETS IT:

Establishment couldn’t compete with that.

THAT is the reason for this, it’s POLITICAL.

Article 11 is intended to give publishers and papers a way to make money when companies like Google link to their stories, allowing them to demand paid licenses.

so let me get this straight, these suckholes get free clicks and ad revenue when users are directed to their sites by said links so to discourage said revenue and linkage they want to force licensure that will reduce hits and ad revenue... is that it???

these floppy prolapsed camel rectums aren't smart enough to uderstand the business model of a lemonsade stand

If hildabitch were president she’d sign us right up for this, even though we’re not in the stinking EU.
