A few days ago, the controversial changes to Copyright Directive Articles 11 & 13 were approved which could spell doom to the entire internet as they are becoming the automated censorship and link taxes. For the changed Article 11, the tech companies will have to pay the taxes to the media organizations for direct links to the material published and that can affect the way you shared things from. Not to mention that the way you use information for research, presentation or even educational purposes can be affected as well. For the changed Article 13, it forces the tech companies to create some kind of automatic filter system to filter out the copyright infringing contents. Another case will be related to the Right To Be Forgotten part whose changes were also made controversial in which things will be filtered out in the search engine and that can be a serious disaster. What if the truth about what the corrupt company does is all censored for instance? The worse thing is that, the Right To Be Forgotten concept will be applied globally. I don't know if even the changes to Articles 11 & 13 will also be applied globally or not but this is the proper time to oppose such changes.
The example of the Right To Be Forgotten concept is that someone wants certain things about them to be completely filtered out in the search engine results but what about some other scenario in which some company has done something bad and wants all the information about their actions filtered then? That can be a serious disaster when compared to a service giving you a filtering feature to filter out inappropriate words.
We have limited time till January of next year where the voting process will begin behind the closed-doors.
