[Advocacy Advisors] [Wikimediauk-l] EU copyright consultation deadline has beenextended

[Amgine]

I don't agree with using the SiteNotice. Over-use of this tool is encouraging people to ignore it, and to block it. The practice of the WMF to arbitrarily clear user preferences to close central notice pisses people off.

IMO central notice should only be used in a life-or-death situation. This isn't it.
