It passed. Both articles 11 and 13 have been approved. It passed 438 votes to 226.

They cheered. THEY FUCKING APPLAUDED!!! THEY KNOW FULL WELL WHAT THEY’VE DONE! FUCKING SCUMBAGS!

I’ll wait to see the full report published, I’m very eager to have the names of the 438 MEP’s who BETRAYED the people and look to destroy out freedoms.

This isn’t over. We need to keep kicking up a stink and vocalize our disappointment. All we can do is keep resisting.

I suppose one way to do this would be to get these traitor MEP’s out of office ASAP as they clearly DO NOT represent the people, and also look to those in the music industry who lobbied for this, boycott and blacklist them when we can.

Regardless, we cant give up.

Guys, I did some research.

We lost a battle today, but we didn’t lose the war.

Just because article 13 has been approved, there’s still one final hurtle if its to become an actual thing: negotiating voting in 2019. We still have time to convince people to not go through with destroying the internet.

Talk to your MEPs that tried so hard to vote no, thank them for trying their best.

But for those who voted yes, make their lives a living hell. Remind them that what they’ve voted for by listening to someone that thinks “filtering” the internet will make things better. It fucking won’t. I hope you enjoy the monsters that you have unleashed.
