Wakeup: Save the internet from Article 13 before June 20th

If the new EU legislation goes through we will be one step closer to #censorship over (alternative) media possibilities. The proposed #linktax is a classical piece of rent-seeking where the big Mainstream Media Corporations uses Big (semi-global) Government (EU) rules and regulations in order to prevent competition from smaller players. Further it is one very bad step in the direction of (global) government mandated information control / prohibition.
