It's in a roundabout way but the affect is the same. Europe sucks.

quote:

LONDON — A means to an end, or an end to memes?

Tech leaders and digital rights activists in Europe have expressed dismay over new rules they say could change the open nature of the internet forever — and potentially kill meme culture.

They have been fighting against Article 13 of the proposed E.U. Copyright Directive, which would place responsibility for enforcing copyright law on websites and platforms, rather than individuals.

It would mean that any website or platform that allows users to post images, footage, sound or code would have to use content recognition technologies — branded "censorship machines" by critics — to filter out just about anything that infringes on a copyright, and either prevent the platform from uploading or push it to seek licenses.


No more meme wars.

The left can't meme so they ban memeing. Sounds about right.

Cucked Europe. The EU pulls fascist nonsense like this and then tries to say the sole motivation for questioning them is racism.

We'll end up seeing more memes made with Paint-type programs. We'll also see memes where any poster/magazine cover/CD in the photo is pixelated, to show the absurdity of the EU.

I'm in if the autists declare a meme war.

Can I say something?

A meme is a themed picture used in pop culture.


What people are saying are memes are more like a comic strip or inspirational poster.


I do realize that mocking inspirational posters is a meme, however.


I guess I just want to say that a picture with a line of text is not a meme. A picture with a line of text that has a following is.

They think they will be able to stop memes




I am almost to the point of pulling for the Muslims when they run over or shoot a bunch of Euros.

Of course they did. They love this it because the memes that call them on their bullshite leftist agenda will theoretically be done away with. News flash: people will still get around it to call them out

So basically once it's enacted, as Americans we should Meme the frick out of EU accounts and European peeps and papers.


I told you guys, Europe is fricked, Liberals are on a mission to destroy their heritage and their countries.
