   EU people! 🇪🇺

   The second vote on #Article13 is this Wednesday!

   Please call/mail your MEPs today and tell them to reject Article 13, as it would mean content filters on the whole internet.

   MEP contact details:

   http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html

   Phone calls work best. If you can't phone, write an email *in your own words*. (Using your own words is really important!)

   Your region may have more than one MEP, contact several if appropriate.

   Please share 👍

     In case anyone is wondering why #Article 13 is such a bad idea, this is a pretty good summary:

     https://blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2018/09/07/eu-copyright-reform-the-facts/

     tl/dr: Article 13 would mean YouTube-style content filters on the whole internet.

     We already know how badly those work on YT, and we also know that only giants like Google would have the resources to run them. All our uploaded data would be under the control of such giants.

     Please help to stop this, you can find out how in the original post of this thread.
