It was fun while it lasted - EU to destroy Internet

[Zundfolge]

If (hell, when ... they don't care what the people think) the EU passes Article 13. a copyright law, it will end up banning even linking to copyrighted material (even with permission) thus basically shutting down all but the big media web sites in Europe. But because of the way the internet works there will be no way to prevent the automated systems they'll put in place to enforce this from impacting the Internet in the US and Asia, so it will either cause the rest of the world to have to firewall the EU segment of the internet or more likely just impose their draconian laws on the rest of the world by default (which the big tech companies want to do anyway as it eliminates all but their voices).

I've been reading all week that the US is looking to take back management of Internet domains.

In the long run, the EU is toast. Every nation has their own interests in mind.

Elon Musk will just put up satellites/servers in space and the rebels will just subscribe to them.

Hopefully the satellites will be better at avoiding crashing into stationary objects than his cars.

Well... Technically he would then have a driverless car AND a satellite in orbit at the same time, so........ 🤤

We sure were innocent and starry-eyed back then, weren't we?
