The European Union under the guise of copyright protection is now going after all forms of alternative media while propping up legacy outlets. Their main target with this are those in the alternative media that report on or talk about news, current events, politics, provide social commentary and the like. This is because they have put an end to controlled media and through it the use of narratives to shape peoples minds and opinions.
Article 13 will put an end to Fair Use and force content creators to pay for the use of all content, even links to it directly from sources. It will force companies to collect these link taxes and force all content to be searched through by algorithms for any and all possible violations. With the scope of what the EU wants this would most likely happen on a global scale effecting those outside of it’s jurisdiction. It just keeps getting worse as you get into it.
Surprisingly the BBC decided to report on the EU’s bid to enact Article 13 instead of keeping it’s mouth shut so to speak and hope no one notices what is going on. In this video we take a look at their sugar coating of things and in the process try to make it not sound nearly as bad as it is.

Facebook, Alphabet (Google and YouTube), along with Twitter and others are private companies. They can enact this globally as policy if they so choose to comply with Article 13. Alternatives like DTube/Steemit, BitChute, Gab, etc, will fill the gap. This will lead to sites blocking them and in turn more people getting VPN subscriptions to access them. One would think they would figure something like that out too.

The kind of appeal of internet services is that fact that they are in principle borderless.
But a country with enough buying power can mandate a regulation and force most of the service providers to create a separate space or even bend them to their will.
So any country with sufficient buying power and draconian anti freedom rules will always win.

To a large extent I agree with you. If Hilary had got into office the US would just allow the EU to do this and pressure companies to do it as a matter of policy. But with Trump being President I don't see their being able to pressure them into it. The reason why I say that is because he'd could, and would, actually be able use section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to go after them if they did it. At that point it is clear the companies aren't impartial and are working for a foreign power. Being impartial is a requirement for the protections it affords them and they don't want to lose them. If they were to, then they are open to any and all civil and criminal liability of their users actions in regards to them.

Interesting I will have to read up on this. It is an area of knowledge which I am lacking in.

When they passed the Communications Decency Act the tech companies were the ones that really pushed for the protections in section 230.
