   If #Article_13 is anywhere near as bad as we’ve heard, people in many EU nations may start wishing they had their own version of #Brexit.

      There's still some hope:
      
      - It's not fully passed. While the parliament has approved it, the Council has yet to do so. It may fall there (though, unlikely)
      
      - As it's a directive, it then needs to be passed into law in each member state. I will be arguing and campaigning in my country to ensure that strong anti-abuse measures are included in that phase. It will provide *some* protections.
      
      - The filter-everything model -- according to some -- violates the provisions of the #GDPR, and maybe even go against one or more of Arcticles 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 of the Charter Fundamental Rights (covering privacy, speech and association -- Article 9 covers freedom to marry, and is probably not involved...).
      
      My prediction: it will eventually be ruled illegal by the EU courts, like the data-retention directive, but only after some damage has been caused.
      
      Other than those of us who care about the intersection of rights and technology, I see no one else caring too much about it, TBH.
