What happens next with Article 13 | NordVPN

Article 13 has passed - what happens now? All about it - in this video. **** On March 26th, the European Parliament passed the controversial Copyright Directive that many fear could harm online free speech around the world. What’s going to happen now? - Online platforms will be responsible for copyright violations Among other things, the new directive makes online platforms directly responsible for users’ copyright violations. That means if you upload a Drake meme to Facebook, Facebook will be held liable for infringing Drake’s copyright. That’s why social platforms will probably do whatever they can to avoid such problems. - Blocked from sites After the directive comes into effect, some websites may choose to block EU visitors – temporarily or even permanently. - Content restrictions Instead of blocking EU users, some platforms may choose to employ different sets of rules – one for EU users and one for others. These rules might include filters or sweeping content upload limitations. - Compliance filters To comply with the directive, some platforms may simply decide to implement compliance filters site-wide, regardless of where the visitor is from. If this happens, EU visitors won’t be the only ones affected. The directive would impact the freedom of internet users around the world. *** 🔔 Subscribe to get the latest content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSZhRxyloC-qzURiOa3vbFQ?sub_confirmation=1 *** NordVPN stands for online freedom and security.
