 worldwide news :

The European Union's legislative committee is preparing to vote on proposed new legislation to guarantee European copyright. Article 13 can change the open and open Internet as we know it, so that this law would lead to full censorship of legal articles. 13 means that large Internet platforms such as Facebook, # Google and Twitter will need to enter filters that automatically capture the copyrighted content uploaded by platform users. This law, which means automatic censorship of anything defined by the algorithms as a copyright infringement, may force companies to check every publication and everything posted on platforms, remove anything they believe has been stolen, and warn participants in the campaign against the law Of that one of the biggest affected by this proposed legislation would be funny comics over the Internet, which often use images that are subject to copyright.
Senior industry figures wrote an open letter to the President of the European Parliament warning that Article 13 was an imminent threat to the Internet's future.

To decide who can link to it, which means that it can exclude its critics.  There are also more serious aspects of the possibility of targeted attacks during crises, so that stock market manipulators can use written chat robots to claim copyright on a company's news, preventing their participation in social media, and political actors can block key articles During referendums or elections.  "We support the consideration of measures that will improve the ability of creators to receive a fair reward for the use of their online business, but we can not support Article 13 for the future of the Internet, we urge you to vote for the deletion of this proposal," the letter said. Strict censorship of news videos and election campaigns will harm freedom of expression.  The authors of the letter, including Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, Wikimedia founder Jimmy Wales and David Kaye, the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression at the United Nations, also questioned the legality Proposed law by saying that it might run counter to the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.  The first legislative committee votes on the final form of the proposal on Wednesday, with the wording to be passed to the parliamentary plenary, prompting the Save Your Internet campaign to urge European Internet users to contact members of the European Parliament before a crucial vote on June 20, The campaign includes tools to facilitate communication with them via e-mail, telephone or social networking platforms.
