No sufficient consensus on Dutch Wikipedia either, there seem to be some
users that are in favor of the articles, and that are wholly unconvinced
that this would be bad for our mission.

Hi Seddon,
Unfortunately despite some support, there is no consensus at the Wikipedia
in Portuguese to do anything ATM:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Esplanada/geral/A_Internet_liv…
I've an idea of what caused this reaction by community, we can talk about
that sometime, if there is any interest.
Anyway, I'm quite glad other Wikipedias will be actively engaged on this
fight.
Regards,
Paulo

Hello everyone,
As you’ve likely heard, four language Wikipedias will black out tomorrow,
March 21, in opposition to the current version of the EU Copyright
Directive. [1] The Czech, Danish, German and Slovak Wikipedias will display
a non-dismissible blackout overlay and block access to content for 24
hours. These communities will be utilizing similar texts and designs for
their blackouts. [2][3][4][5]
In addition to these communities, there are others discussing the
possibility of a banner and/or a blackout. Discussions and voting appear to
be actively occurring on Estonian, French and Italian Wikipedias whilst
other community conversations have either stalled or gone quiet.
The final vote on the Directive is expected to take place on Tuesday,
March 26. This means that communities looking to make an impact on the
outcome of the vote will need to make decisions surrounding community
actions, by the latest, the evening of Sunday March 24.
There is a good deal of coordination and technical work that goes into
these initiatives. In order for us to best support communities in the
implementation of their decision, we want to encourage interested
communities to come to a decision, whether for or against, and reach out to
us as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Seddon
