James,
Could you articulate how, in your view, the implementation of the proposed directive, or otherwise, would affect the Wikimedia Foundation's mission of "encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual, educational content, and to providing the full content of these wiki-based projects to the public free of charge," please? Because if you can't, then the answer to your question has to be "No, it isn't".

Here is an interesting quote of a Mozilla Foundation lawyer from https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/11/mozilla_wants_eu_ to_slow_down_its_eprivacy_directive_process/
"draft Regulation imposes very specific restrictions on the technology industry that may challenge the business models of some ISPs. In some areas, obligations are proscriptive, undermining the principle of technological neutrality that this legislation needs to withstand the test of time in a rapidly changing environment"
Is it appropriate for the Wikimedia Foundation to respond to this sort of thing? Mozilla is almost entirely funded by ad-supported businesses at present.
