The EU Just Destroyed the Internet
Computing Forever ^ | 3/26/2019 | Dave Cullen

Posted on 03/26/2019 3:38:24 PM PDT by ducttape45

The EU Just Destroyed The Internet by passing legislation that makes it a crime to utilize anything that could be considered copyrighted material unless you pay a fee for usage.

Listen to the video, it'll explain it a lot better than I can. Post your thoughts below and whether you believe it will come to the USA.

This is just a form of censorshi. Keep the people ignorant.

There is no such thing as freedom of speech in the EU. All rights come from the government, all must be regulated.

Political Correctness must be the driving principle of all thought, and action. Big Big Brother is watching you.

I’m not the fellow who insists that the citizenry commenting on the news of the day are equivalent to sexual predators.

That is precisely your line and it seem that the European Union bureaucrats agree with your goals.

Do cease equivocation. We read your sexualized rants against citizen pundits every day.

I wonder if this incentivizes citations from American and Asian sources.

If a website asks me to accept their cookies or else, I'll go somewhere else. And if a website won't let me enter at all because I don't have a subscription, same thing. I'll leave.

As for Firefox, I haven't used it in years ever since they went all Commie socialist pinko and fired their former chairman for donating to a pro-life cause. Won't touch it or Thunderbird.

This is to stifle sharing political information, not protecting intellectual property owners.

You think about sex a lot, don't you Eddie?

That is precisely your line and it seem that the European Union bureaucrats agree with your goals.

What do you suppose my goals are, Eddie?

We read your sexualized rants against citizen pundits every day.

If you see something sexual in the term "blogpimp" I think
that says more about you than it does about me.

You're a pervert, you know that?

Exactly, that’s what anything like is all about, and if something like should ever come to be here in the US, it’ll be for the same reason.

It takes a sick pervert to attempt to portray citizen journalists as pimps, and at the same time claim pimps aren’t sexual predators.

A sick bastard who did that might be making other nasty sexual assertions about others.

Probably the moderators would decide that some of their posts were pretty disgusting...and remove them.

I'm sure I've had dozens of my posts removed.
It isn't traumatic, it doesn't hurt.

You, however, are probably so virtuous that none of your
posts have ever been removed. Be proud, you're a real sweetie.

Or a realist. These wankers are pimping their blogs, looking for clicks.
Read it slowly, maybe twice. Let it sink in.

A sick bastard who did that might be making other nasty sexual assertions about others.

Such language!
There you go, on about sex again.

Is you frustrated, Eddie?

Mostly Palemoon. I’ll use Google Chrome but only when I have to use Farcebook for something related to the weather group page I moderate there. But it’s Palemoon for everything else.
