SafeTheInternet: Πριν από τις τελικές διαπραγματεύσεις που θα πραγματοποιηθούν αυτή την Πέμπτη, ακτιβιστές ετοιμάζονται να παραδώσουν στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο μια αναφορά κατά του Άρθρου 13 που θα υπογράφουν τέσσερα millions People.
Lawmakers will try to agree on the final text of the disputed Article 13 this weekteam.
In a vote in plenary in September, the European Parliament supported the controversial proposal of Article 13, which appears to be part of the EU's intellectual property reform plans.
Since then, the proposal has been modified in an attempt to gain broader support, but apart from copyright holders, too many are unwilling to make the upcoming bill.
Most of the disaffected are activists who do not support anti upload filter. So through a report hosted on Change.org they managed to collect 4 million signatures.
Yesterday the report “Stop the censorship machine! Save the Internet! ” the "Stop the censorship-machinery! Save the Internet!"Exceeded four million signatures, making it one of the largest hosted in platform. With these staggering numbers, the activists behind the SaveTheInternet campaign are hoping for change.
Tomorrow, the SafeTheInternet team will hand over the signatures to Axel Voss, European Parliament rapporteur for intellectual property rights, in Strasbourg. The activists tried to do it themselves in July when the petition had about one million signatures, but at that moment Voss was not willing to accept it. But he agreed to accept it later.
Its timing delivery of reference to Voss is not accidental. It is scheduled one day before the final meeting of the tripartite dialogue, during which lawmakers will try to reach an agreement on the final text of Article 13 and other copyright reforms.
With the report, activists invite Members of the European Parliament to decide against Article 13, which may hinder freedom of information.
"This form of censorship could soon destroy the cultural rules of the Internet as we know them. The blocking of Uploads, in combination with the tampered algorithms, will lead to the so-called overfilling of the platforms, in order to avoid legal violations ", warns the campaign website.
