WMDK has signal-boosted the campaign on social media, linked to our
march letter to the Danish Minister for Culture where we explain why
art. 13 is problematic and sent informational emails to the WMDK and
Danish Wikipedia mailing-lists explaining the issue and how to contact
MEPs using the website.
Best Regards,
Matthias Smed Larsen

*Good News: We're Getting Heard & the Message is Spreading*
BBC News picked-up <https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-44412025> the
#SaveYourInternet campaign (see the Tweet
<https://twitter.com/BBCTech/status/1005040338401193984>). A big
thanks to Jim Killock of the UK's Open Rights Group (ORG
<https://www.openrightsgroup.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*!
*12 June #SaveYourInternet Action Day: Our Plans & How To Help*
*_Our Plans_*
*12 June = #SaveYourInternet Action Day: *On that day, our homepage

*Support the campaign in general:* Several organisations have already
committed their support to this effort, and we count on all other
civil society organisations to follow this example.**If you want to

*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>,
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.
