Europe is changing the internet again.

Lawmakers have approved a sweeping overhaul of copyright rules, dealing a blow to major tech companies that argued the changes will be costly and limit free expression.
The European Parliament voted Tuesday to approve fiercely contested changes that make platforms such as YouTube responsible for copyright infringements committed by their users.
Sites like Google News could also be required to pay publishers for using snippets of their content.
The proposal was opposed by tech companies, which warned they would need to build expensive content filters and stop linking to publications. Internet activists argued that the changes would lead to censorship.
Just like when net neutrality was repealed. I just don't get why these pieces of human feces are always all to happy to pass stupid garbage that is so OBVIOUSLY bad for your average joe. Do politicians just really lack a conscious and are completely incapable of reasoning?

The best answer to your question about REPUBLICAN politicians, who do such things, is an overwhelming YES!

Pretty sure the ones passing this are quite left-leaning.

Because all government is evil and only a handful of politicians are not sociopaths on a power trip.

Because the laws they pass on us, do not apply to them.
How does it feel to be property.

Democrats are every bit as evil as Republicans.
