Basically old and technologically illiterate European politicians are trying to pass a new copyright law called the "Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market" on June 20, 2018.

This directive has two very troubling parts, Article 11 and Article 13. Article 11 seeks to invoke a link tax, yes that's a monetary tax on linking to copyrighted content on other websites.

Article 13 wants to establish wholesale monitoring of content uploaded on the internet which would include a content recognition system. Basically anything that's uploaded to the internet on websites that allow user uploads would be scanned, analyzed and approved or rejected by this system based on whether it is licensed by copyright holders.
