EU approves internet copyright law, including ‘link tax’ and ‘upload filter’
So bad is this legislation that it&#x27;s almost enough to make me change my views on Brexit.<p>It&#x27;s ludicrous to me that the same body that approved something so user-centric as GDPR could come up with legislation so incredibly hostile to small players as to effectively abolish the open internet by financial attrition.<p>Once this comes in, we&#x27;ll collectively need to finally start work on that peer-to-peer, onion-layered, encryption everywhere Internet we keep putting off building.<p>At least this is a lot more compelling in terms of a call to action. It&#x27;s been a death of a thousand cuts for the last twenty years, so at least it&#x27;ll help motivate us all to get a move on.
