Dear Pierre-Yves
|
| Get
Ready for the
12 June
#SaveYourInternet
Action Day |
| |
| In
this update on
the
#SaveYourInternet
campaign:
|
| Good News: We're Getting Heard & the
Message is
Spreading |
BBC News picked-up the
#SaveYourInternet
campaign (see
the Tweet). A big thanks to Jim
Killock of the
UK's Open
Rights Group (ORG) for the thorough
explanation to
BBC. |
| |
In
the short time
since the
campaign has
been launched,
the
#SaveYourInternet
hashtag has
already been
used in over
5.000 tweets
by almost
3.000 people,
but we
still need to
make a lot
more noise to
get our
message heard
by everyone!

| Mythbusting: Article 13 Misunderstanding &
Misinformation |
Journalist Glyn Moody debunks the
misunderstanding
and
misinformation
out there
about Article
13 in a new article on Boing Boing,
as he observes
that "the
copyright
directive in
general, and
Article 13 in
particular,
very often
hinge[s]
on (...) subtle
points".
In his article
he
explains the
EU legislative
process, and
why we need to
act now,
and tackles
the fact that:
- it's still
filtering,
even if you
don't say the
word
"filtering";
- this goes
way beyond
notice-and-takedown;
- there's no
magic filter
for all types
of content;
- the GDPR
is an ally,
not the enemy.
