Mythbusting: Article 13 Misunderstanding & Misinformation Journalist Glyn Moody<https://twitter.com/glynmoody> debunks the misunderstanding and misinformation out there about Article 13 in a new article on Boing Boing<https://boingboing.net/2018/06/07/of-dogs-breakfasts-article.html&…ml>, 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.
