I wouldn't call GDPR and abolishing roaming charges a downward spiral, the EU has done some pretty useful things. And every single national prime minister agreed to this shit individually (shame on each of them), the EU isn't just wispy thingy that randomly decides things.
For an example of what it means, Chinese memes are(were) very pun-based, because chinese is an exceedingly good language for punning with a long tradition of pun-based humor and it helped them get around censorship software in the Great Firewall. In response China banned puns and wordplay, all of them, centuries of tradition be damned, because the memes could spread anti-party ideas.
And I'm wondering why you're asking me that question when I don't even know what ''Shadowy bureaucrats'' is. My country in Europe is pretty isolated after all.
I already knew the 1% billionaires feared memes because memes can destroy people, but I forgotten it was because memes spread ideas, such as every flaw of those 1% billionaires. So what's gonna happen once Article 13 is passed?
Whether Trump is actually a good president, you can't deny he is a literal Meme Lord. But people like that are 1% out of the 1% billionaires. He's a man that built himself on memetics since the 1970s. Meanwhile, all the other billionaires in the EU are trying to destroy memetics in fear that memes will turn on them.
From what I get it removes the “save harbor” position that protects sites like youtube and wikipedia. So if somebody puts copyrighted material on wikipedia. Wikipedia can also be taken to court by copyright owners. So sites are forced to protect them selfs with copyright filters. Another article people dislike is the one that compensates “newsites” for linking. Yes, newsites expect to be compensated for being linked. The worst part is there is no clear version avalible,so there is a lot of mis interpertation from both sides.
War will be the ultimate outcome, even now there is massive class divide now and is only being worsened by the minute and citizens of Europe especially have been continuously shat apon by Mama Merkel and her cronies and soon people will say enough is enough, even now talking from personal experience among my generation the anti EU feeling has skyrocketed and the Eirexit movement which mind you only had 5 people in Cork at Christmas is now going into the thousands, and give it 1 to 5 more years you will see an even larger increase in their popularity, just you wait I am betting that Ireland will leave the EU within the next 15 years at most and after Ireland leaves this will surprisingly have a major impact on the EU both due to fishing policies and borders but also many EU HQ's are in Ireland for the likes of Google and Apple which of course will have an unprecedented effect on the EU that few have considered, I would argue now that the UK is gone Germany and Ireland are in some of the Top countries holding up the EU now and I would be willing to say that if Ireland leaves it will not only kill French and Spanish fishing industry but will have a major effect on the electronic industry amongst other things and may eventually be one of the stepping stones to the fall of the EU
1960's: Safety? Seatbelts? Anti-Drugs? Naaaaa, we're too busy having fun and drinking co co cola. 2000's: Fun? Expression? Freedom? Naaaaa, we only care about safety and non-controversial things. 2040's:we're not allowed to say "free speech", it could offend somebody... 2080's:*what is a "fun" and does it provoke another being?*
The real question is how tf does one continent zap memes on the WORLD WIDE web? So they shouldn't be able to mess with the rest of the worlds online content right?
The internet is international, that much is true. But every nation may censor the internet for their people. Thus, the internet outside of Europe will have 2 choices:
1. Continue as-is, and get banned in Europe 2. Conform to the EU-laws, even though you aren't a European business, and stay allowed in Europe
Choosing option 1 sounds great until you realize that Europe has a lot of people in it. A lot of potential visitors that you won't get unless you pick option 2.
For one, it sets a precedent that it's ok to expand copyright law even further. Additionally, the Internet is global, so companies all over the world would invoke copyright, which would take down stuff for everyone.
Easier said than done. Yes, VPNs can bypass local filters, and have been used in countries in which censorship a major issue. Or, even in schools, where censorship of fun things is equally common.
But, like any other internet service, a vpn can be blocked off too, forcing everyone to switch to a new vpn service... and another one... and another one. Itd become more and more of a hassle as time went on.
Youre right though. A VPN could bypass their filters. But there is still more that can be done to prevent VPNs ranging from blocking them to punishing those that use them.
Chad Walker it doesn’t work because any meme made in Europe that had any other peoples stuff in it at all would be taken down for everyone you can’t use VPN to get something that’s been wiped away
In the same way that another continent spies everyone on the world wide web. The www is a global network, you can't really isolate it by countries. Unless you want to go full China, that is.
The_Blazer but the problem is Merkel is sick of listening to legitimate problems about most of her policies and is about to try and do a full China thankfully we have at least managed to get it to a public vote and discussion
Europe has always been trying to rule the world. They hate it when any culture is remotely different from their goal. I am referring to their leaders, not the people of course.
Well, they would have to treat Europe like a bubble. May sound good for some apathetic people outside of Europe... until you realise how many people live in Europe and that you may not be able to watch your favourite content-creators. Like PewDiePie. Or Robbaz. Or Zajcu37. Or whoever you follow, that lives in Europe. And any individual who makes content just cut their audience in half, because now nothing gets into Europe and nothing gets outside of it
Hopefully the more sensible websites will filter for geographical region, allowing other users to continue to generate content. If this happen us Europeans will just need a VPN and it's like before. Being favourable to the EU, I think I will change my opinion about it if this law goes through.
I feel like an asteroid hit Earth a few years ago and we are all in Hell right now. It may sound far fetched, but if you look at recent events, you will notice a common trend.
clayton8or_2 The FCC is allowing ISPs like Comcast/Time Warner to regulate what we see online. This is especially troubling because outlets such as CNN and NBC are owned by these conglomerates, so they have an incentive to throttle and/or block websites with opposing views. Net neutrality censored nothing on the internet; it did the exact opposite. It prevented companies from trying to regulate the internet.
Wow. Two years later and Europe still has memes. It's almost like Article 13 included protections for parody and other materials that were instances of free use. It's almost like people that don't understand politics shouldn't take about just because they heard a huge corporate campaign against further regulation. And yes, the EU hates rebellion and free thought so much that anti-Euro representatives are allowed to be voted into its own parliament.
Please, EmpLemon, don't become another of those US Americans that try to discuss Euro politics even though they'd never heard of anyone in the European Council 5 minutes before they heard about Article 13.
I hate living in the EU because of stuff like this. I hope they seriously don't do this as they are basically destroying a media that people like. It's like if the EU decided "Hey let's get rid of books, yeah people like them and such but some books are controversial so that means all of them are controversial and they are destroying the minds of people (Even though they are not) so let's get rid of them"

@A Hennessy They never were. "EU bans memes" was always just a meme, with a relation to reality so vague it pretty much didn't exist (there is a thing this is traceable to, but it in no way resembles what the meme grew into). The legions of hysteritards who actually legit thought they literally did just that though, that's a sight to behold.
I don't think this gets brought up that often in the comments, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the ways you consistently incorporate prog music into your videos, Lemon
So... what’s the problem? Do you really think Europe has the same FBI from the USA? Like each government will keep track of every single person, like they give a shit and watch if you go to Microsoft paint and make a meme. Who the hell are they gonna find?
I only recently discovered your channel (like an hour ago) but I can already say that I absolutely LOVE your content. You tend to approach topics intelligently and the topics you address actually have relevance, keep it up
I feel that this will be almost impossible to enforce with the plethora of VPNs, IP hiding programs, devices one can hack and change locations on, and so many more options.
The EU really seems to like ruining the Internet. The "this site uses cookies" and the big privacy policy update across pretty much every site is their doing, too.
"Not harming anyone" can be a defense for any form of nagging.
It slows down the general internet experience and discourages people from venturing away from the platforms they are typically on if 90% of the time they do, they have pop-ups, banners, etc. blocking the experience to tell the user that the site uses a pretty standard feature.
They'll use AI. Everything you put on the internet in EU has to be filtered for copyright and hatespeech. So everything you say will be watched over by the government. Text a racist joke for example via messenger or quote something like denying the Holocaust and you can be 100 percent sure you'll end up in jail.
This isn't only a meme, it's the future.
On the 20th of june this regulation was voted in the EU parlament but there is still a chance that they'll throw it out of the window on the 5th of july. Unlikely but possible.
For more information and petitions look up "Article 13"
They'll have copyright filters and shit. The actual details of the law specify not being able to share unsolicited images of copyrighted material, the source of 90% of memes
They won't because they can't, but when the few and most popular sites which have high meme production rates fall and die, the others will fear, and thus, nobody needs to regulate anything at all.
Chairman Sounds like North Korea and former East Germany to me. Disagreeing with the government will be banished. However, at the same time all of them are against public cameras, yet are planning to do this shit. I certainly hope this won't become an actual problem. (Also from Germany)
Chairman I'm pretty sure that is going make more Holocaust Deniers, censoring Holocaust Denier's opinions is going make Europe look like they are trying to hide something, and people are going to think that want they were told is a lie, so if this law get pass, than Europe is might get a generation of Holocaust Deniers.
Ok, fair enough. The EU hasn't handled memes in the best way, and I would argue the EU needs several reforms beyond memes too, but dismantling the EU is a TERRIBLE idea. Remember what happened to Europe before the EU? Hint: The destruction of countless lives in two world wars, besides other wars. I personally would handle Article 13 in a different manner; a manner in which memes aren't banned. But if the EU needs to be dismantled because of memes and memes alone, then what would need to happen to the US? And if you argue that it's just a joke, then I would argue that it is presented in a way in which all of EmpLemon's opinions are presented...
Except it didn't, it probably won't and even if it does, pro-corporation laws like this one will probably still be around in the new neo-eu treaty the UK will have to sign. In fact, without the EU, there would probably already be an "article 13" like law in the UK.
A lot of people don't know that if this passes, it will then have to undergo a five year period in which individual member states will vote to pass it or not.
The EU didn't care at all, and continues to rule over you. Imagine that. Nothing will change until its the white people blowing shit up instead of the arabs.
The European Union must have no braincells left how dare they take memes away, sorry to any people in the UK stay strong, rebel against this, I believe in you guys
4Head Well, let's hope most people are not dickheads and don't care about their copyright. Considering memes turned out good for Sega, Naughty Dog (or whoever owns Crash Bandicoot now, I dunno) Wendy etc. maybe other companies will follow.
That is pretty much true, but I'm just against the idea that they actually are trying to ban memes, they're trying to "Protect copyright holders" by giving them way more power than they actually should have, sickens me none the less, not to mention people are citing regressive left when clearly it's in the interest of large coorporations or powerful individuals.
Well then this is the final nail in the coffin for the EU. We must protect our memes! If not...we must rebel with memes! A meme revolt is what we need!
If you are seriously a big enough cucking shill to believe that massive media corporations have a right to patrol memes, then you need to get off of the internet and go back to watching television.
Jimm Nuteron WHY in hell entirely blaming not corporations, they play the main role of why "Government" or members of EU in this case of voting to do this.
It's like Youtube copyright, or copywrong as I'd like to call it, just because a right is a right doesn't mean they should have it, like right of conquest basically says if there is no one to stop you you can go to some place and enslave the inhabitants.
Due to your insubordination, your destination will shortly be visited by the EU International Peace Keeper Army to re-educate you. Please await your arrest.
TriforceGuy 64 actually a youtuber named black pigeon speaks made a video on this and explained how it will affect us in America too if you would like to look into it
The Texan Courier, Of course it is the first step. Money and power corrupts. Let's hope that our president will stand up to this. (After all, memes helped Trump win the election)
Marc Bedragare Except for Europe's roots as the single greatest party nation in history, Rome. Progenators of hot traps, so many lesbians, and watching things die for fun.
EmpLemon No Emp, you're just plain out wrong here. Why would the whole EU and certain aspects of other countries not want their entire internet run like YouTube?
You know, because YouTube is so great and totally fair.
He's saying no other point of view matters, they're taking genuine freedoms and anyone who is okay with that doesn't deserve any freedoms in the first place.
Finally the meme Community is talking about it and if we spread this information around, we can still save memes. Thy still need to pass this in the E.U Parliament
TriforceGuy 64 I don’t think so, but I can’t tell. If this can somehow affect countries outside of it, there would probably be issues no matter what the law is, considering all of the legal stuff, like enforcing a law outside of your territory.
EmpLemon for those of us who are sensitive soyboys that don't want to give our email address away to fake websites, would you please link an official petition in the description?
SaMs dReeMurr There are petitions but I'm hoping he can direct us to an official one. Furthermore, you can contact all friends you know in the EU to contact their leaders about this.
TriforceGuy 64 Europe is big. Not only memes produced in the EU would become illegal, but also the US could be hit. With both a source and a consumer of memes severely restricted, what will become of the US meme market? I'm kind of exaggerating, but you get the point.
You could try writing/emailing your local MEP but tbh the Europen parliament is as useful as a chocolate colostomy bag. Might still be worth it though.
As an artist, if this idea spreads to other countries (specifically the US) it'll basically be the end of me and several other artists as well. (Not including the poor souls already getting shafted in the EU.) Because fanart is a big part of the modern art world.
>hurr durr, just make art of your own IPs/Copyrights!
Yeah no buddy, unless you're already a big artist, that doesn't work. Fanart is by far the most marketable place in the art world, simply because it shares a common interest. People can find you for artwork of DOOM, Star Wars, BATIM, Dark Souls, etc. and will go about commissioning you to make them a portrait of Darth Vader, or a hellscape crossover with Doomguy and the Ashen One fighting hordes of ink demons. Most prints are also fanart (A bigger name example being ThePixelEmpire).
The EU is not only destroying memes but huge parts of the art, music and gaming industries with Article 13. The sheer amount of people that'll be effected on a fundamental, livelihood level is quite easily comparable to those death tolls. I fucking dare any of you to defend the EU and Article 13, it pretty much destroys the idea of internet communities as a whole.
Don't pin this on us Europeans. Blame the EU. We didn't vote for this. EU represantatives decided this even though they've been heavily advised against it for very long.
EmpLemon I truly do love memes my man, but I will say, I kinda understand why the EU wants to get rid of memes. There are some very very toxic memes and trends emp. You know as well as I do, how absolutley cancerous memes can be, young ppl are into memes, so if u got a trend of saying "nigger" going on, young ppl being impressionable as they are, will repeat history and start spamming that word chaotcally. In which this rhetorical has actually happened. Or this new trend of imitating the death of X by looking slumped in your car. Memes CAN bring the good in ppl. I do agree on that, But as of late, I've seen more of it bringing the bad side out of ppl, because of the anonymity the internet provides, and ppl loove abusing that and can get away with what they say. Memes CAN and DO bring the best & worst out of ppl. I do see memes, doing alil more harm than good. (Only as of late) I want to say, I do not agree with censorship and that is taking away from the ppl. I'm just stating of a potential "why" they would do it. I really do wish ppl had more self control and not abuse the privilege and be so godamn toxic. I'll tell you, wholeheartedly, I would vote against this bill. Ive been around for 21 years and I wish I haven't seen a lot of the bad memes and trends that I've witnessed over the course of time. Then maybe I would feel more comfortable defending memes as a whole. I do just wish that so many ppl weren't abusive of the right and or try to be the biggest assholes they possibly can
BoondoxxTheFoxx You didn't have to write a novel about how much you hate r/dankmemes, but I agree with your point, and edgy memes should've stayed in 2016.
Hey, uh Emp? Have you received any news or seen anything about the algorithm recommending unrelated and more "family friendly" videos without any correlation to what I've been watching? Recently, I've been on a Zero Punctuation kick, but supposedly it's close enough to Vine Compilations and clips from Talk Shows to justify that shit showing up in my home page. It's gotten so bad even a half-hour session of tuning my recommendations leaves me with the same shit. Also, any notice of these ninegagging, insta-memeing, twitter-twatting taintsmackers going around calling themselves shit like Lord Kek when they use Five Gum in 2018? It's absolutely disgusting. As an American, I can't do much but verbally argue against Article 13, but I'm doing my best.
TriforceGuy 64 If the Europeans could do it, what's stopping other countries from following suit? If the EU is worroed about copyright, then maybe they can refine their copyright laws, not control information that everybody has a right to. They're slowly and literally turning into Ingsoc.
How would they even enforce it? What, Military Police storms into your home and Forces you to show your search history? They see "memes" and are like, "All right, it's off to the block for you". pfft whatever
@Momo Ali It's not really that I want to defend them, I just feel that the sensationalism surrounding it makes the situation even worse and it's counter-intuitive to our cause.
@Hero Puddle But I see nothing wrong with the current copyright policy. The EU is making an unnecessary strict law on copyright. I sort of understood what you meant, can you please perha ps explain what form of copyright law you want and if you're for or against article 13?
@Momo Ali I'm very strongly against article 13. I'm not the most in touch with copyright law but I know that what article 13 entails is really bad. However I've seen this narrative that leans towards censorship and though it does violate free speech in a way, it is clearly not an effort to ban memes. That's the narrative I'm going with and I do not have the expertise to go into detail about how I think copyright law should specifically be handled other than I think that the implications of piracy and plagiarism are overstated compared to the sacrifice that honest content creators have to make. Also I don't like the idea of justice heavily depending on how much money someone has.
@Hero Puddle Interesting, thanks for your opinion. My opinion is that the fair use policy should be used, but with an edit: YouTube should make a automated system demonitixing copyrighted content including reaction channels. It will only affect copyright after the law and not before. If a YouTuber has permission from the owner, there is a free pass. The law will avoid memes because there hasn't been any copyright complaints against them. Btw, i'm not an expert on this and i'm just proposing a theory.
I thought you, Emplemon, would be a proponent of this law. It will keep the normies away from memes. The outsiders on the other hand can always find a way around such legislation.
Once one of the worlds bastions of intellegence and free thoguht, now one of the worlds "Free" Dictatorships. Not to say it is, but they always try to find power.
[This comment has been removed for violating the European Memetic Cease and Desist Act of 2018. Have a nice day, slaves...Or uh...citizens...rather...yeah.]
Hey emp. Me and many other poopers including Yoshimaniac are joining together to make a documentary on YouTube poops and we’re wondering if you would be interested in being apart of it. You’re an amazing pooper and a gigantic part of youtube poop history. It would be great to have you on board. Let me know if you would be interested. You probably won’t but it’s worth a shot anyway.
Using memes to spread this whole controversy. Ironic, in a way, but necessary. I've gotten everyone I can to send an email to their MEP, but I don't know if it'd be enough. I'd encourage everyone else to do the same. (Shameless link incoming) Here's a link where anyone in the EU can contact their MEP through a method you prefer (email, text message, tweet, etc.): https://saveyourinternet.eu/#newmode-embed-4348-4465
I don't want my memes to be dreams. And if this continues, well I'll be a resident of Air Strip One in a few years.
"Those who sacrifice freedoms for little security deserve neither"- Ben Franklin. I think this qoutes reasoning is especially important today with many governments extending their reach and power and acting against the wishes of the people who elected them. People should not blindly trust their governments or sacrifice their rights for "progress".
You know it might once have been crazy to say a revolution is gonna happen because of memes but now it's really looking like the internet might take down a global superpower and if that happens people outside the internet will see the true power of the internet.
Remember when everyone, including people in the UK, thought it was a terrible decision for the UK to leave the EU? The people who voted to leave look pretty smart now
OnlyBro555 not specifically this, but the eu has passed similarly trivial/pointless laws in the past, which the UK government had to accept over and above our current laws.
Zapchon I'm not saying we foresaw this specifically. If you read the comment I left, you'd see that I said that the EU has passed trivial/pointless laws in the past. One of the main reasons why the UK left was because of these unnessissary laws made in a completely different country which overruled the laws made in the actual country itself.
The fact that you don't seem aware of the pointless rules the EU has imposed on the countries shows that you simply don't know what you are talking about or you're confused as to what I am saying.
Zapchon plus it's pretty subjective to say that it was definitely a bad decision considering the fact that we haven't even left yet. Only time will tell.
Ye too bad the English parlament is full of people who desperately do not want to leave (invluding the Prime minister and the entire labor party). Too bad the UK has gotten so authoritarian that they are proposing porn licences (to watch porn), owning potato peelers, saying "racist" things etc etc.
I think the most obvious, unnessissary piece of legislation is the laws which they have set on the shape of bananas and cucumbers. Cucumbers have to be straight, whilst bananas have to not be to bendy. Plus the legislation places on lightbulbs and vacuums infuriated a lot of people. I didn't mind it too much, however a lot of people I know we're genuinely angery with the decision.
Sorry if I used incorrect wording, I was a bit buzzed when I wrote the comment.
Why did it take us this long to realize that the European Union should be dismantled? Should've been done years ago. Let's just hope we have the power to keep memes where they belong - in the hands of the people!
"Those who instigated and orchestrated the conflict that killed 60 million innocent people" This line objectively doesn't make sense, World War II isn't some massive conspiracy between rich people, it was a war fought between countries, not fucking classes. It's not like Oskar Schindler and other German businessman kept their wealth from the holocaust, those businesses like Heinkel and Renault which suffered after or during the war respectively wouldn't have conspired either, and I'm sure a fair few of those 60 million might've been SS, Gestapo, NKVD and Imperial Japanese Officials like Tojo himself, not entirely innocent people. Emp I enjoy your content and to be fair I enjoy the editing and overall the video's message but that line right there just doesn't make sense to me.
Hey Lemon boy, I just discovered your yt channel yesterday and earlier today I cancelled my trip so I can stay home and watch your stuff. It's 22:00h now and after nine hours of somewhat educational seizures I'm feeling nauseous.. I didn't even know about that YTP thingy until now so you can be sure that normies are coming to your channel and actually enjoy it.

Watching your back log of videos whether or not you still like any of your older content I rather enjoy the themes and structure of all your videos, despite the shit you might get and that I only found your channel through the behind the meme video I'm glad to have found this gem of a channel in the cesspool that is YouTube recommendations.
If this law makes it so that we can't use other people's images for memes, can't we just make our own templates, so we won't have to worry about copyright?
The thing is, the corporations rely on those memes as valuable mouthpieces, so I don't see many corporations taking losing their free advertising sitting down.
not taken down for almost 4 years now , just because of a background noise that even fits the songs unless the eu actually gets a few thousand people to look for memes they can never stop it ( this is just a copyright thing but it can work the same with memes
Can I just say that I thought this was some joke? I didn’t think Europe would ban memes, much like America’s repeal on net neutrality. However, I just thought they would ban them because they find them “highly offensive”, I.e. Pepe is “White supremacist”. But this actually goes much deeper than I thought. I don’t know if things could get worse. Edit: It got worse. Thanks, COPPA
122 seconds if you're watching it on a computer, 123 if you're watching on a mobile device. the time length adds on one second for some reason on mobile.
@Ryan Orten As somebody that has been watching YouTube videos on mobile for four years, I've always wondered why an unnecessary second is added to a video's length.
How the heck would they ban Memes anyway? Since any expression can become a meme, does that mean the government will be able to ban any expression they call a “meme”?
The banning of memes is accidental. You ask an EU leader what they think of memes, they won't say "I hate memes". They will actually say "what is a meme?" They don't know how memes work.
On the Minute Memes timeline, we can assume that this video takes place after the E video because it's possible that the crash at the end of E corrupted some parts of the computer, and the intro and outro are 'corrupted' (the clock on the logo is the downward spiral, and everything is red). Minute Memes has some deep lore, I must say.
EmpLemon, I used to watch YouTube poops a long time ago, and I believe that I saw at least one of your old videos. Barely anyone talks about the "era" of YouTube where the most popular video game was Goat Simulator, and YouTube Poops consisted of "Weegee" and other randomness. This "era" of YouTube is quite possibly my favorite, as YouTube was much simpler back then. I wanted to suggest the idea of another YouTube Geographic video, that would be about this "era" of YouTube that I just mentioned. If you need any help on research, I have a few suggestions. There was a YouTube channel that I used to watch when I was incredibly young, called "95shade3", actually 95shade has multiple channels, and 95shade3 is just one of them. This channel is filled with old, crappy YouTube poops that the younger version of me found hilarious. If you want to do research on the more "civilized" part of this era, then go watch some very old videos from DanTDM. I don't watch him now, but I used to watch him back when he did his old spore play through and old mod showcases, and I believe his channel is a perfect example of the gaming scene at the time. I hope that EmpLemon reads this. I understand that YouTube Geogrpahic videos take a very long time to make, but this comment is just a suggestion.
Peasant Lemon Better? I got it! How about, and bear with me here, nationstates GASP handle their own business and other countries can fuck off of their national sovereignty. I know. I know. Crazy idea that has not at all worked for thousands of years.
If you're goons move to the states remember this, 5280 Feet are in a Mile, 12 Inches are in a Foot, 3 Feet are in a Yard, 32 is freezing, and 210 is melting.
DON'T GO TO BRAZIL. They are SO much worse than the EU right now. This guy ^^^^ will try to ransome or mug you if you speak or look anything other than Portugues.
Mmmm_Crunchy We have it in Washington and a few other states though, thanks to our federal government being too incompetent and busy plotting the most idiotic genocide in history to enforce its own laws on the states.
Hey emp, like dude, this isnt a bad thing. Memes are ideas, and you cant ban an idea. If anything, this will be a blessing, as now memes will become less mainstream, as people who really want to see them will have to use the dark web and stuff. Idk mybe im missing a joke or mybe im wrong
Oh, oh! This is perfect! Yeah, first the British tax us for everything, then Germany welcomes Hitler into the world, and now EUROPE ITSELF is trying to ban memes!
It’s not that is just about memes, this about our freedom of speech. The intention of this law is filter out unauthorized copyrighted content, this law may not only wind up killing memes, but freedom of speech on the internet as well.
Do you really think it's a good idea to advocate for dismantling the EU instead of reforming it? Do you really think it's good for us Europeans to lose our one currency and market? To lose our freedom to travel and work wherever in the Union? To lose common laws which every country in the Union has to abide?
Once a "trade union" gets to put laws in place for each of it's member state to abide by, it's no longer just a "trade union". The EU tries to be the US of Europe, but it fails miserably at that. Nevermind the fact that an European United States is an incredibly stupid idea, the USA was built on something each state had in common: the desire to be free from the british, while the EU tries to maintain the image that their purpose is to maintain peace. Freedom rings better than peace, especially peace at this prize.
Two years later and... memes seem to be quite unbanned? Even though the vote this video refers to went through with a "yes"? Almost as if "Europe banned memes" was just a meme
1.Recreate established memeformats for yourself and use them instead of the original one.
2.Delete new memeformats from the internet (that you posted) and make sure that people copied/recreated them and reposted them.
3.Tell every of your friends(especially the ones that don‘t stop talking) the whole story:“The Eu wants to establish an very strict upload filter that checks every upload on every website for a copyright abuse . This will destroy the whole Internet culture. You won’t se any remixes,Memes,lets plays (because the lets player doesn’t own a license to copy the game),Product reviews,many music gernes that are based on sampling (taking a part of a different song/track and chopping it up or looping a certain part)(THIS INCLUDES VAPOR WAVE,LOFI HIP HOP AND FUTURE FUNK) and basicly a third of the hip hop landscape(sampling...) due to the new Art. 13. This is not only the end for europas Internet but the end for Every Internet that ever existed.
4.Send links of videos about this topic to every of your friends. Dont spam the same video for every of your friend. Get a individual video for every friend.
5.Create memes about this. They have to follow our new ,,recreate meme templates“ formula.
6.AND THEN DEEP FRIE YOUR FAVORITE MEMES SO THAT THE EU FILTERS CANT DETECT THEM...
Remind me why we need a bunch of authoritarian beurocrats running an entire continent again?
Oh right, a continental currency... because transferring currency values was too hard for people other than those with skills in... well... basic math.
(Edit: I know the EU was made for other reasons, but whenever I ask about the reasons to keep it they always just go "Well, the Euro is cool."
God bless Norway for not getting included in that shit I can still make and watch memes! (BTW this should be a basic human right along safety and food)
It always seemed to me, from the perspective of someone who voted to leave the EU, that the principal reason Britain voted to leave is what we perceived as the lack of affinity between us and the EU, that laws were being proposed and ultimately imposed on us by people who were so far removed they couldn't possibly understand us or indeed have any desire to understand us and act in our interest. This feeling of being governed from the outside, by people whose accountability is tenuous at best and not existent at worst, it doesn't sit well with people. I think citizens are right to be concerned about a lack of affinity between themselves and those who govern them, and a lack of public accountability within governing bodies. Too often, those of us who were concerned about Britain's membership of the EU had our concerns ignored and were dismissed as xenophobic, but this recent passing of Articles 11 and 13 is surely further evidence to validate these concerns?
This concern is absolutely legitimate, and is in fact what led the 13 colonies to revolt.
The issue is that we(US Americans) stepped down from one form of corrupt government to one that quickly became just as corrupt. How do you expect the UK not to do the same? From what I've heard, they're even trying to pass their own version of Article 13 separate from the EU, though my understanding of UK politics is limited.
I'm not saying it was a bad idea to separate from the EU, overall, but what now? How do you get the greedy and entrenched in your nation to actually give up their power, rather than stomping on their people to preserve it?
What now indeed. It's a good question. The majority of MPs in the UK were in fact in favour of remain, most only accept the referendum decision reluctantly and some outright think the decision should be ignored and want to scupper the process of leaving. Needles to say, most British people don't hold their politicians in particularly high esteem, and don't have much more trust in them than they do the EU officials. Voting to leave the EU wasn't a panacea, and given that many of our own politicians are intent on stopping Brexit I'm still not sure the referendum decision will truly be implemented, but I think it is at least a step in the right direction, part of a process.
Despite the 1984 dystopian idea. Banning memes appears as a unintended result of Article 13 and allowing copyright protection for the effect of taxing shared links. Honestly, this just seems like a bad idea for scientific progress and the internet in general. Memes are exceptionally human, I can't understand a law against this exchange.

How can you even ban memes? There is no distinct barrier between what is a meme and what is not a meme. I don't get it. There's a lot I like about the EU but stuff like this just confuses me. Do the EU authorities not get the internet or something?
As an ecozone, Oceania includes all of Micronesia, Fiji, and all of Polynesia except New Zealand. New Zealand, along with New Guinea and nearby islands, part of the Philippine islands, Australia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia, constitute the separate Australasian ecozone. one simple google search
I think you're overreacting, and so is emplemon. the EU didn't fully ban memes there is just a bot that can be took too far and a rouge bot will try to take down memes. some memes can still be around and most may go, not all. also, this only affects EU based websites not the whole world. I also doubt banning memes will turn into a dystonian society where police read minds, screens that watch you are placed everywhere, everybody loves a man named "Big Brother" that they only see on the screens, and the whole world turning into three countries. (also the EU got turned into Eurasia)
Sam J Did you not read the legislation?, Everything must be filtered before being uploaded to the internet, how is that not the beginning of surpession of free speech?
No. The legislation states that the platforms have to filter out infringing content. The only way this is suppressing free speech is by bots like YouTube’s content I’d system (which all sites will now need) being stupid. It’s a problem but please don’t blow it out of proportion
Sam J That is the first step. But if filtering becomes the norm it's much easier to take it to the next step and use it in subversive ways. Especially with copyrighted content, YouTube has shown what a clusterfuck that can be and how the definition of copyright will always benefit the ones in charge.
Don't say it isn't being blown out of proportion. Any restriction on internet activity that attempts to prevent it from inception is already an issue and is easy to be abused and expanded apon.
Well, if it does get to that level, we will stop it. I have signed petitions and called my representative to attempt to stop this, I just feel like comparing it to Orwell’s 1984 is a bit much
My country, Cyprus is in the EU and one of my parents are anti-EU, because of the blame to EU for the financial crisis in Cyprus and a debt crisis in Greece. lets hope Germany will be eurosceptist.
Europe is in desperate need of an organized counter-meme offensive. Only by starting the fire themselves will we be able to aid our brothers in this most dire of circumstances
This channel bout to hit 1 mill by January next year, calling it. his channel is great it represents a lot of our thoughts and does it with good music and editing
Emplemon, save us from the r/FUNNY POSTSXD video apocalypse. They're a new sub-breed of react channels that compile posts on reddit for workless, easy views. There are dozens of channels raking in dough by putting in no effort and we need you!
remember in 2016 when people were shocked and appalled that Britain would ever want to leave glorious EU? that there was no way that the vote to leave would ever go through? and later that Britain would fall to ruin without the EU? well then just thought i'd bring that up
Great vid Emp - and I am beyond horrified living in Germany, because nobody here knows about and gives a shit. But the EU will collapse in itself, Britain left and Hungary, Poland and Italy will follow. And because Italy amongst Germany and France is one of the wealthiest countries in this region which helps to fund this bullshit and without it, Germany and France will have struggle to do so. Also experts have estimated that the Euro will collapse (in 1 to 2 years) due to various reasons which are to complex to explain here, but sooner or later it all will end, but the costs will be very high.

I mean I'd rather see memes die a lil than my currency inflate I think, but I have no idea what that feels like. But I'm not getting sentenced for carrying a pen in my pocket either.
It has to be approved by all 28 countries so estonia or someone will probably veto it. Tbh I'm expecting something similar will happen in Britain soon. Now that Ajit Pai has shown how vulnerable internet freedom is in the US most of the worlds bureaucrats will probably start this sort of thing. I don't think it's specific to any countries or institutions like the US or EU, this is scarily spiraling into a global regression where the western world's democracies limit internet freedom with a similar model to Russia or China.
European here. Diversity, Integration and Diversity again are our strength, give it a few more years and well be able to stop bullits with the combined effort of our diversity.
You force all memes to be vetted by someone for copyright infringement. In order to fight it, you put in an appeal to say that the meme is a parody. In 3-6 weeks, your meme is allowed to be seen.
So, you could just snail-mail your memes at that point. It might be faster.
You just 1984/Big Brother the shit out the internet In your country just like for every shit that is illegal if this shit passes through we'll have to go on the deep web for our daily dose of memes
the shawnatiom everything that has copyright will be gone. Forget streaming Forget memes Forget online gaming Forget freedom, because we will be watched every fucking step.
With what's used in everything: Bots. YouTube already has the adbot, so the EU could just as easily apply a memebot to everything they touch. YouTube, IMs, forums, everything.
Can Pink Floyd's The Wall: The Movie be considered a meme yet? Or would it be classified under a different, new classification, such as a vintage meme? (Vintages memes would be pre-2010 meme that aren't dead yet (ones that come to mind are Steamed Hams (until recently) and Star Wars' Darth Plagueis the Wise story.))
I swear I once bought an DVD copy on a theft store many years back ago, while I was fascinated with the entire album series and everything about it. This meme just got attracted to me like a death-wish from some faint dank memory of childhood. Still to this day "Pink Floyd's The Wall: The Movie" remains my personal all time favorite. Despite it's nonsensical logical flaws, such as implementing narcissism annoyingly in film. Otherwise just showing any of the scenes still gives me goosebumps, that's how fascinating this meme has blended into my entire life.
Okay but... How do you ban memes? Aren’t memes just ideas that spread rapidly essentially. Outlawing memes is outlawing high fives or fucking handshakes!
Day 400 without memes: I’ve been underground since the day they came and wiped my hard drive of dank memes and smut fanfics. The resistance is growing and soon we’ll be able to spread memes to the masses. We are the future. The legend EmpLemon is our great leader who will lead us out of the sewers and back into our Mother’s Basements.
The worst thing is that it's not just gonna be memes that get banned. I'm really scared for the future if this goes through. Like most of my time is spent on the internet talking with people about stuff i like, laughing at memes and posting my fanart that i make of my favorite things, but i guess these fuckers just decided to destroy all of that

Don’t get me wrong the stuff ur putting out rn is really awesome and funny but I’ll just like to see at least one more ytp from u. I always thought that u did the best ytps ever and I still do. Are going to be doing any more ytps anytime soon? If not, then why? Btw it would be really awesome if u did an incredibles 2 ytp later on. I hope u make an answer or a video on this soon. Ur such an awesome channel and I won’t be leaving anytime soon!
EU: this is what we call removing you're brain Regular person: but why would i want to? EU:It will protect you, you can't have anything hurt your feelings of there are no brains Regular person: but that won't work EU:DID YOU JUST DISAGREE WITH US? TO PRISON WITH YOU
It annoys me that of all the problems that the Article 13 legislation has, people hung on memes. Which are specifically EXCLUDED by the text of the law.
One thing I realised is that in the thumbnail there was an image for a socialist party for what is in essence a far right movement. Well I couldn't imagine how something that only really benefits large corporations and huge copyright holders.
It would be nice if you gave a better description of the situation instead of bashing the EU as your statements in this video (though I agree with them) come off as baseless fear mongering and ultimately pretty vague.
@EmpLemon I truly do love memes my man, but I will say, I kinda understand why the EU wants to get rid of memes. There are some very very toxic memes and trends emp. You know as well as I do, how absolutley cancerous memes can be, young ppl are into memes, so if u got a trend of saying "nigger" going on, young ppl being impressionable as they are, will repeat history and start spamming that word chaotcally. In which this rhetorical has actually happened. Or this new trend of imitating the death of X by looking slumped in your car. Memes CAN bring the good in ppl. I do agree on that, But as of late, I've seen more of it bringing the bad side out of ppl, because of the anonymity the internet provides, and ppl loove abusing that and can get away with what they say. Memes CAN and DO bring the best & worst out of ppl. I do see memes, doing alil more harm than good. (Only as of late)
I also want to add, no, I don't agree with censorship. I'm just saying that it's not entirely like, "meaningless". I see the "why" they would want to do that. Is what I'm getting at. And lets be honest. It does get bad sometimes. Only sometimes. But when it gets bad, it's bad. U know just as well as I do. But I don't agree with them removing memes all together, that is censorship and that is taking away from the ppl. But I wish ppl as a whole had more self control and not abuse the privilege and not be so godamn toxic
They're proposing to make it more difficult to post copyrighted material online, and it would be done by using automatic filters. Memes wouldn't be technically illegal, but they would become significantly more difficult to create and share.
cant we technically upload pretty much anything by having constant noises like thunder and rain playing in the background , has worked with a naruto sad ost mix aswell
Childhood is thinking there was a good and bad side in WW2. Adulthood is thinking the Second World War was an inevitable struggle fought over the remnants of nationalistic concepts, both new and old. Transcendence is learning there was a good and bad side in WW2.
JackIsGold Funny and free speech are racist/xenophobic/sexist/misogynist/and mean It's hate speech and hurts people's feefees Your rights end where their feelings begin
Memes aren't just funny internet pictures. Funny internet pictures just happen to be memes.
Memes are ideas that spread and mutate from person to person in an attempt to represent and spread a message. Be that message a "HA" or a call to action against one's government.
Fliers and advertisements can also be defined as memes, so can be political opinions. In building the infrastructure to stop the spread of copyrighted memes, Europe will also be building a system that they can, at any time, turn on the public.
Anti-EU sentiment spreading throughout Germany through a meme? That's fine, we now have the infrastructure to censor that. A meme that aggrandizes an enemy of the EU? Not on our internet.
Meanwhile, EU regulations on the internet are further-reaching than just the EU. If websites want to be visible in Europe, they have to give in to the demands of the EU or become invisible. Same principle in the US.
In other words, the European Union is very likely to develop a technology in the interests of major corporations and copyright holders, and then once their technology is matured, they'll be able to turn it into a political tool anytime they like.
We Americans must quadruple meme production (at minimum) to counter this. We must flood the internet with too many memes for companies to be able to adhere to these bullshit laws outside of their country of origin.
Hello! Anyone heard of a book called Pirate Cinema? It's by Cory Doctorow, one of my favorite authors. The book is from 2012. Here's the summary: "The novel is set in a dystopian near-future Britain where the government is effectively controlled by media corporations. The main character, Trent McCauley, has had his internet access cut for reassembling downloaded films on his computer and, living rough on the streets of London, is trying to fight the introduction of a new draconian copyright law." So this book basically predicted the future. Well, not entirely, as in this case, it's all of the EU that's affected, but Brexit happened.
i live in Portugal (europe) and if this happens im jumping off the window (i actually wish i was lying but if that happens i will have no way to have a laugh)
Hi emp I know you probably won’t read this but your commentaries are brilliant there’s something so unique and special about it. Although I loved your ytps I adore your commentaries, 60 second memes and all things in between (montizon)
Kneight Well It was 4chan that predicted fallout 76 way back in December, They Stopped Shias Anti Trump Rally, (you know that guy from 2015 who screamed just do it) 4chan solved the mystery of some Burger King employee, So 4chan May be able to do something about Europe. Call me autistic, But 4chan could do something
Hoffman Justin "they predicted a video game, so they'll stop a government!" there is a massive rise in left politics since Trump, so I doubt. They're also pushing for a re-rally of Unite The Right, that really won't fit a good narrative.
A meme is an idea in a picture. Memes are a highly effective political weapon (e.g: Trump vs Clinton and /pol/) authoritarianism isn't funny. That's why the authoritarians want to destroy memes. But they will never learn.
Chairman This isn’t Communism. This is Fascistic censorship, as what you can see or make is being dictated by the government, like Nazi Germany was run. Everything must serve a purpose to the government, or else it deserves to be destroyed or censored
nah nah socialism is when the gubberment does stuff, and the more stuff it does, the more socialister it is. I learned this while drawing penises in my history textbook
That's an insult to Fascism. Europe is transitioning to something we never could have imagined. Something that makes the Third Reich look Anarchist in comparison to this kleptocratic, anti-populist nightmare.
I think the ramifications of article 13 deserve a little more than 60 seconds dont you think? People cannot see, what with the minimal coverage by outlets like the BBC, how dangerous this really is
The one thing the most powerful people fear is knowledge, personality, and rebellion. We are just pawns in a game of chess to them. But if they lose their pawns, they are near defenseless.

You know it’s kinda funny. The Net Neutrality situation gave up the internet to corporations, while article 13 and 11 gave up the internet to the government. Both are polar opposites of each other, yet both have the same affect limiting free speech. Both equally got a significant amount of backlash. both equally make me lose brain cells . I guess the moral of the story is the internet is uncontrollable no matter who tries to subdue it. It always finds away to bite back, whether it’s through memes or some other form of resistance.
The UK saw this coming, that’s why they’re trying to get out while they still can.

What if i told you that you could broadcast memes trough radio? Set up a 100w radio transceiver and use an SSTV software to encode images in audio signal while broadcasting them over radio. People can receive that signal and turn it back into an image with ease
Siezt shouldnt even be legalized, it should be decriminalized , if its legalized-natural weed will still be illegal, only GMO'd or modified weed will be legal, meaning that big pharma will modify it to where it'll lack all of its health benefits or other benefits
Recreational marijuana is kinda shit and unnecessarily stronger(on THC) in modern times, compared to natural-medical type(balanced CBD, THC) weed, similar to older generations. And Justin Trudeau is like Todd Howard if he was a politician. Or I like to call him: Justin "Todd Howard" Trudeau

"Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: Memes. The DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture. They are everything we pass on."
It's ironic that anyone who does anything good will either never make a real change, or become popular enough to make them greedy for money and fame, destroying their purpose. What made us humans so great will be our downfall.
you know in that tf2 vid for meet the medic where the medic is ubercharging the heart and they start laughing but bracing for it to explode at the same time? the heavy is me during this video
Memes have existed for tens of thousands of years. Don't believe me? Look up the Cueva de los Manos paintings and tell me that wasn't a meme for those Clovis shitlords.
What EU is doing is like if Europe banned the Renaissance. Memes are the hottest shit from this decade and probably more to come, do they seriously not expect some knockback?
I love it when we're on the same page. Down with the EU! Keep on fighting for Brexit! Make an Italiexit, a Swexit (a Svejsan :P), and so on, then let the corrupt socialist democtatorship fall! SD 2018! TRUMP 2020! WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER, as the Zodiac Killer once said.
I do not disagree with what you have said but i have to contradict: Europe is not going to ban memes. First it seemed so because they are dipshits that can't speak clear words, they going to change the copyright in some aspects (I won't explain that, i'm way too lazy and it still is very vague) but they already CONFIRMED that Memes run under the parody & quote freedom and won't be harmed by that.

Also, fitting use of the Half-Life 1 Official Soundtrack for this video, makes me actually nostalgic for those times were there weren't such absurd amounts of bullshit floating around.
Isn't it funny that the Patriots sought to control information by not preventing people from using memes, but by disguising their existence behind a meme?
Miselus vamp isn't even a vampire the codec conversation about him in Metal Gear Solid 2 he only acquired a taste for blood and got the name vamp from being bisexual although Raiden made the connection but Iroquois Pliskin corrected him
They're trying to stop the spread of memes so they can supplement their own. Mass unrest! Proxy Wars! The War Economy! PMCs killing one another endlessly to keep the balance of power tilted in their favor!
Actually it isn't about banning memes. It isn't as bad as people think. Of you actually look at the article it doesn't target memes. It is purely for copyright and it is made in such a way that it doesn't affect memes.
I feel like a Trump would help in this scenario, seeing as his whole campaign was based on dismantling regulation, but then again, Net Neutrality was a thing.
Hey Emp, you should make a YouTube Geographic on those people who get top comment on EVERY SINGLE video. You know, like Justin Y., StickMaster500, Mad Soldier, and those other people. It would make a good episode.
Don't worry comrades us American's and Maple leafers and Brits will land in Normandy and liberate you form this Fascist Hell hole The Union of Memes will win
Lol. The EU is going to be gone soon anyway. Italy is going to leave. Then France will follow. Then either Germany will leave or will be crushed by the overwhelming debt from every other EU country.
SpinosaurusStudios A meme is just a cultural idea that catches on in a culture by spreading from person to person. Political ideologies are memes, for example.
Besides, the 'memes....the DNA of the soul' is video game quote. I was just making a dumb comment.
well, it’s stupid on so many levels. First of all, i guess, french gonna rebel. They always do, as we have learned. And since you’ve got a big scary brother in the east and the west you don’t want any kind of political destabilization.
maybe me leaving a like on this video will convince the EU that this is a stupid law... oh wait politicians don't listen to anyone who doesn't have money.. still gonna like this video anyway
What is this? You call this a "minute meme"? This was well over 1 minute. You playing me for a fool? I will not stand for this. The whole reason I never subscribed to this channel was so that I could watch, good, wholesome family content, and instead I'm lied to. This was the final straw, you Lemon. I'm subscribing and unsubscribing, and there's nothing you could do about it.
Unfortunately our current government would like this as well. Our sitting PM is very anti-privacy, and she literally said she'd strip any human rights laws that get in her way. The Tories were, and still are, undecided on Brexit, so who knows what's going to happen then.
Labour and the Lib Dems aren't perfect either: Corbyn stated that he wouldn't remove any surveillance laws put in place, and the Lib Dems, who said they would strip such laws, have no chance of getting a majority right now, and their last leader was homophobic, which likely prevented potential voters.
Welp WE NEED TO STOP THIS WHOS WITH ME. I WILL SPEAK WHAT I SAY AND WE ALL WILL TRY TO END THIS AND LET MEMES SHINE. IN ALL OF ITS GLORY AGAIN WHOS WITH ME
We don't need no Europe Union We don't need no thought control No fucking normies in my forums Hey! Normies, leave us pricks alone! All along you're just another post on the wall

Well, its time to move to russia. Or maybe therell be an anti-europe president elected next. I hope. But i dont think that'll happen cause my whole family is pro-europe
Not all Europeans are the same. And just because some Europeans from over 70 years ago perpetuated war, that doesnt mean the Europeans of today are responsible of the same thing. I'm also saying this as an American.
Try searching up states that wont repeal the Net neutrality, i currently live in new york and their currently against the FCC, if you want your memes to be free and cheap as much as possible
Just Game Design there updating the copyright system on the internet. If someone post a meme, it could be copyright strikes. So, there would be a fear of getting in a copyright battle, therefore would be no spred of memes
Unfortunately people will only listen if they can use it to fit their narrative. I've had a hard time explaining the "link tax" to my family, but "Europe will ban memes" is a lot easier to digest.
Why exactly is this in a minute memes video? This is an issue not a meme. (Technically the video itself is because it condences a point into a very small video) but still this needs it's own separate and distinct video. This series is about analysing memes. Not political ranting (That needs longer videos). Make a separate rant.
I mean if this is actually gonna happen I have no idea what I'm gonna do with myself. like one of my major hobbies is making dumb meme mashup things. +i dont understand how you could even ban "memes" - what does a meme count as? is drawing something weird and funny a meme? is it just using a template and putting your own words on it? doesn't seem possible.
The whole document was rather lengthy and some parts of it were implemented. Things like anti-terror laws, spying on people were there. The most dangerous parts like the upload filters were not implemented as now. Some say it's just been postponed, others say we're safe, cause they figured it was too hard to implement. The other elements did happen for real. Some anti-terrorism spy stuff had come up, and France incorporated the whole Quotation-Tax, so that Google would have to pay for showing content of a website in its search results, because this way people have no reason to visit the website and give ad-revenue, as they see everything right there. Google decided that when presenting French websites in results, they will only show the headline, not the content, so they don't have to pay a thing. France got super angry, because now French sites had much less views, and.... not even sure if things are still this way.
Either way, I was one of the people who protested in the streets, and I keep a watchful eye for the future.... who knows what they'll think of next.
you made the right choice mate. as for me, back in 2016, i was blind to brexit and voted against it. i thought it was extremely racist at first but looking at the actual facts about our economy, combined with articles 11 and 13, i see now the mistake i made. what im trying to say is, i wish i was you right now.
Off- Screen You’re on the right side now, that’s all that matters! They’ve never looked after the interests of their citizens, so articles 11 and 13 are no surprise to me at all
Everyone should be sceptical of the EU as with most things, but don't you think you should seek to inform on a wholesome basis rather then just spreading anger over the political aspect of the EU. The EU is more then anything economic, and its breakup would be utterly disastrous for every European economy and especially that of southern and eastern Europeans. Political dissatisfaction should not drown out the reality of economic hardship, and by spreading one way political euro scepticism with two minuet video you are risking a harder future for hundreds of millions of people. I think the EU is likely to collapse, but not without bringing what is left of Europe might and relevance with it for good. With all other powers on the rise we are living on a nearly lost continent, one which had one chance through the EU to make it big again, and we should be trying to fix it, not write our future off.
I chose a heck of a night to binge EmpLemon videos, this stands out so much. No jokes cracked, no fun music, no loud high-pitched ranting, just a cold atmosphere and tone of “this shit needs to stop now.” As it should be. People have been calling out the degradation of western culture (especially Europe) for the last few years, but what’s the tipping point?
Last year in March I made a prediction that people in the EU would require a permit if they were to illustrate memes, turns out I was wrong but not for the better.
I don't get why everyone is freaking out about this "death of all memes". They aren't trying to ban memes, they're enforcing stricter control over intellectual property (copyright). Specifically, article 13 requires internet providers to employ automatic algorithms to weed out copyright abuse, like what YouTube does. The "connection" is that because memes often sample contemporary works, they'll be completely destroyed, which is definitely an exaggeration. Article 13 is shitty, and I DEFINITELY oppose it, because copyright law in general is turbo-aids, but whenever people talk about "the EU voting to ban memes," I can't help but feel that they fundamentally don't understand what's going on. Article 11 is also super shitty, for other reasons pertinent to how social media platforms link news articles (requires licenses of sorts). The argument is that it would drive traffic for the news away from social media, and back towards the official news sites. I don't really see that working even slightly, and it just seems like unnecessary interference. So yeah, oppose the legislation, but do it because it's a shitty piece of legislation, not because your favorite twitter account says it's going to literally ban memes.
It is more about the control over the information shared on the internet. How anyone can defend the EU when their goals are clear well against the people they rule over is beyond me.
I noticed that the background picture is bliss but today's bliss... if i remember correctly EmpLemon has NEVER changed the background of bliss in this series.
i remember a textpost from tumblr talking about: "the year is 2077. memes are now illegal. children are crying, families are starving. people turn to the black market for memes with fear of being caught. the world is truly memeingless." Truth is scarier than fiction.
Well banning memes is just a possible side effect of a new EU copyright law, memes are not targeted directly and are not the reason for the new law. I'm not defending anything, but maybe you should juuuust add a little more detail before uploading such a video. (It's just the media going nuts over some POSSIBLE scenarios)
Come on boys, lets use anti memes to confuse them. And if all else fails, we shall use secret underground memes. Who the fuck is gonna arrest us over making a joke? We'll get by somehow.
Is this for real? Seriously? What. the. goddamn. fuck. Something more to add to my list of why I'm ashamed of being european. Still, even if this "law" would get voted and memes "banned", what would change? I mean, nobody's gonna stop ya going online and posting memes and shit. It's just like pirating stuff: It's illegal, but do ya get arrested if ya download a song/movie or pirate a game, mod a console or what? Abso-fucking-lutely not.
BREAKING NEWS President Emplomen was assasinated by a gang of European normies. In other news, retired meme legend, Pepe the frog beaten to death by the same group of assasins. Tragic day in internet history
So they legit arrest people dor what they say? Who needs free speech then? What do they arrest people for? Can I be arrested for saying orange is my favorite otter pop?
Imagine this... A hyperactive, nonsensical, annoying, but popular kid named Charlie is in 9th grade. Everyone loves him, and they call him the meme master. Yet anyone like us could understand he is an utter normie. Someone asks him to show them his meme collection. He breaks out his phone and opens his Instagram. Everyone burst out in laughter as he shows them relatable memes about smoking and other sexual topics. His "specialty" his dead in FNAF and Baldi's Basics memes. He treats his teachers like garbage and spends half his day in detentions, yet his grade worships him like a god. And here we are, blessed with advanced knowledge of true meme culture, but ridiculed by the rest of society.
Remember the end of "Of Mice and Men" from your middle school English class? replace Lenny with freedom of speech, whoever the other guy was with the EU, bunnies with GDPR, and the gun with this shit
Gee europe, I bet you wish you were armed so your government was actually afraid of oppressing you. Don't mind me though, I'll just be here linking to whatever I please because I'm actually free. B-)
This is an overexaggeration. People are banned from sharing copyrighted materials, but they can still produce their own original content. Yeah, it's bad, but it's not "all memes are banned" bad. Europe isn't banning the right to free speech.
Cameron Dempsey I'm not too familiar with him, but it can't be as bad as what the US has done to government whistleblowers, not that I'm condoning any of that, I'm just pointing out that the US has done deeds just as bad as what the EU has done.
Paul Robertson Yeah it's pretty bad Tommy Robinson was a right wing journalist in England who was literally thrown in jail for a while I don't know if he's out or not, but it was for speaking out against Islam and the rapes and crime caused by them all over Europe its bad over there and bad in U.S things like that have happened to as well but at least we still have a decent grip on are rights like free speech and right to bare arms. Wheather it will stay that way I can't say.

Cameron Dempsey Wow, that sounds awful. Thanks for mentioning that, I'll do some research into him. Still, the US just got rid of net neutrality so I don't know if it would be accurate to say we still have a "grip over free speech". Removing net neutrality is way more damaging than banning copyrighted internet content because it will prevent people from readily accessing the internet. This is what no net neutrality can lead to, it's happened in Spain and Portugal: https://qz.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/net_neturality1-e1509289851528.png?w=831
Paul Robertson very interesting I honestly forgot about the net neutrality thing, glad to see open minded people on the internet, memes truly bring people together.
I really enjoy your editing, man. You have your way of conveying your thoughts on a subject so easily with it, with the music choices, the red layout in the Windows intro combined with your minute meme formula, it actually made me really uneasy watching this video, especially coming from you.
Even more so considering I'm in Europe and would hate to see memes being banned for some stupid shit like it's part of the EU's first problems. It's such a despicable jab at our rights, and probably one of the first ones to come. But hey, who cares about memes anyways
As an active duty sailor, I appreciate your boldness in expressing the importance of memes. EmpLemon, you are a leader of memes. Thank you for your underappreciated research, and your dedication to what you do. Salutations, my friend.

I’m originally from Sweden, moved over to US 5 years ago. Thank fucking god. I am honestly scared for the safety of friends and family over there, hope the EU doesn’t actually turn into the communist dictatorship it is looking similar to right now.
Finally the meme Community is talking about it and if we spread this information around, we can still save memes. Thy still need to pass this in the E.U Parliament

Also, I can't tell if Emp is serious when he says if Memes are a fundamental property of the common man. Or if this is just another shit post phrase such as the downward spiral
Man. Between EmpLemon and Accursed Farms, I'm noticing a distinct pattern of watching YouTubers predicting really dark, depressing and highly plausible futures.
I dont give a shit about what you say, this vid wasnt a minute long. Seriously though, you have a great point. Some people cant see straight what they are doing and thats pretty sad.
I've made a chart of all the memes rated so far, with the ratings we know so far.

First of all, the idea of banning memes is stupid and pointless, and secondly, you CANT ban memes, is like banning drawing or banning a languaje, there will always be someone who does them, and also, they can´t just ban every single page with memes because it would take literal years...
+Achil ADRIEN They want to ban using copyrighted material without permission. This incldes small clips, pictures of movie scenes, images, gifs and other stuff. This also would indirectly include most meme material. You won't be punished for using it, but the website you use it on will. That means that most not-original memes wilo be taken down through a complicated filtering system. If you use a clip from Star Wars for edample it might be instantly taken down.
And as far as I understand if someone creates a meme and says that it is HIS you can technically not repost it because it will be that person's possesion.
BTW if you live in North America or Australia or whatever and you think this EU legislation won't affect you, remember that changes to the EU's laws are the reason that every major silicon valley corporations went out of their way to tell you about their updated privacy policies. In order to avoid losing business in the EU, these companies will start more strictly enforcing copyright laws *EVERYWHERE*. If you know anybody in the EU please tell them to look at this campaign in opposition to the meme ban: https://www.saveyourinternet.eu/
My opinion on this? I'm mad, but I feel that you kinda get over-worked. Do you even live in Europe? Not gonna lie dude, memes don't matter that much. Just chill, dude. Besides, if you like memes for the entertainment value, don't worry. You can always do stuff like watch an anime or play a shitton of video games, etc. Memes are entertaining, sure, but meh, In my opinion, they don't matter that much, but eh.
Why are you playing Drums and Riffs/Tau-9 from the Half-Life soundtracks? I'm not complaining. Kelly Bailey is one of my favorite soundtrack composers of all time, and playing next to Pink Floyd too? * (Shows picture of Trump giving thumbs up) *
Of course banning memes is bad but it’s not Orwellian. Orwellian is the art of “deleting” language and that description tho. You like PewDiePie and he’s European. Once again I agree banning memes is bad.
I love you lemon But you kinda put memes upon this godly pedestal and make them seem like the most fundamental part of man I’m sorry but this just comes off as cocky
While this is great, I feel that it's necessary that you go into more detail on this. After all, something as big as an entire continent having memes be wiped away from it deserves a video on a grander scale.
This isn't a "meme ban". The Article 13 porpuse is not to specifically ban memes, it rather is to protect copyrighted content. And so, only SOME memes will be banned, the ones with copyrighted content.
But I still hate this shit lol. At least it is FAR AWAY from this being approved, it will still need to go through several votes.
If you actually looked into this you’d realize things are most likely gonna be fine. All it entitles is that users can go after there copyrighted material. Most people will do nothing. It would be impossible, or the cost would be to much to justify, getting a team to scan every meme, determine if it is copyrighted, and track down the online user and sue them. Especially since a lot of meme material is from America, overseas court cases would be extremely expensive, defeating there purpose entirely. Also hundreds of thousands of memes are posted every day as well, and if taken to court the defendant could argue fair use, as well as the terms for this are written in the broadest possible way, so arguing in court is easy. The media has mislead you extremely.
There should have been some examples of memes being used to tear down ideologys in this video, "TRIGGERED" would have been a great example and im sure there are many, many, more. You will be missed Europeans.
You have no idea how much I'm scared, I warned all my friends sent emails to all my meps, did what I could, now, I'm no longer for EU, damm with thia thing, UK was right after all
If they ban memes in Europe, people will just rename them like how YTP creators turned Spongebob into Spingebill so Viacom wouldn't copyright strike them
And you can still make memes god damnit, just don't print screen a scene from a movie for once. Remember how a lot of 2000s memes were original creations? Just do that. It's not hard. Just use your mind, you're not stupid, stop pretending.
This is why the Vicegrad group should make their own "brexit", and move on to the Eurasian Economic Union (which at least appears to be what the EU should've been from the get-go).
Lol. What they see as a step towards controlling will lead to rebellion. They are signing their own downfall as we speak. The more they tighten their grip, the more people fall through their fingers.
Later in history, I predict there will be a candidate for some high power (President, Prime Minister, etc.) and their campaign will be all about 4chan. 4chan would then rule the world with how much power they achieve.
It's time to end G DDR Article 13 is the point we'll have to fight in Europe world's we lose our right to meme it's time to fight with Computing forever and and fight back against the European Union or will you lose the right to lose it and United States it's time to fight it's time to fight the EU in fact even Computing forever says it's in 1984 two time to fight
Ok, i get that this sucks because we all like memes, but this is clearly a bunch of old people making a copy right law that accidentally negatively affect the internet because said old people know nothing about the internet. This is obviously not a totalitarian regime totally banning freedom of expression in order to have total control of free thought and ensure its own survival. This is crazy.
Only criticism I have is saying there is an “evil” side in WWII. I’m not trying to defend what happened or the holocaust or the war itself. However, to blanket a side as evil for whatever reason, you’ll just look over actual motives and often learn less from the conflict. It might even go as far to having even a monument to their own dead soldiers on their own land toppled (much like what happened in Durham, Which was absolutely unacceptable, even from a licolnist point of view.)
This is wrong, it's not "Europe to ban memes" it's "The European Union to ban memes", Europe is misleading, because there are countries in europe that are not in the EU, such as Norway and Switzerland for example. They dont wanna ban memes

The internet is international, that much is true. But every nation may censor the internet for their people. Thus, the internet outside of Europe will have 2 choices:
53 likes1. Continue as-is, and get banned in Europe
2. Conform to the EU-laws, even though you aren't a European business, and stay allowed in Europe
Choosing option 1 sounds great until you realize that Europe has a lot of people in it. A lot of potential visitors that you won't get unless you pick option 2.
For one, it sets a precedent that it's ok to expand copyright law even further. Additionally, the Internet is global, so companies all over the world would invoke copyright, which would take down stuff for everyone.
14 likesWhat about VPN?

6 likesEasier said than done. Yes, VPNs can bypass local filters, and have been used in countries in which censorship a major issue. Or, even in schools, where censorship of fun things is equally common.
But, like any other internet service, a vpn can be blocked off too, forcing everyone to switch to a new vpn service... and another one... and another one. Itd become more and more of a hassle as time went on.
Youre right though. A VPN could bypass their filters. But there is still more that can be done to prevent VPNs ranging from blocking them to punishing those that use them.
Chad Walker it doesn’t work because any meme made in Europe that had any other peoples stuff in it at all would be taken down for everyone you can’t use VPN to get something that’s been wiped away

0 likesI hate living in the EU because of stuff like this. I hope they seriously don't do this as they are basically destroying a media that people like. It's like if the EU decided "Hey let's get rid of books, yeah people like them and such but some books are controversial so that means all of them are controversial and they are destroying the minds of people (Even though they are not) so let's get rid of them"

1 like@A Hennessy They never were. "EU bans memes" was always just a meme, with a relation to reality so vague it pretty much didn't exist (there is a thing this is traceable to, but it in no way resembles what the meme grew into). The legions of hysteritards who actually legit thought they literally did just that though, that's a sight to behold.

I personally would handle Article 13 in a different manner; a manner in which memes aren't banned. But if the EU needs to be dismantled because of memes and memes alone, then what would need to happen to the US? And if you argue that it's just a joke, then I would argue that it is presented in a way in which all of EmpLemon's opinions are presented...

2 likes>hurr durr, just make art of your own IPs/Copyrights!
Yeah no buddy, unless you're already a big artist, that doesn't work. Fanart is by far the most marketable place in the art world, simply because it shares a common interest. People can find you for artwork of DOOM, Star Wars, BATIM, Dark Souls, etc. and will go about commissioning you to make them a portrait of Darth Vader, or a hellscape crossover with Doomguy and the Ashen One fighting hordes of ink demons. Most prints are also fanart (A bigger name example being ThePixelEmpire).
The EU is not only destroying memes but huge parts of the art, music and gaming industries with Article 13. The sheer amount of people that'll be effected on a fundamental, livelihood level is quite easily comparable to those death tolls. I fucking dare any of you to defend the EU and Article 13, it pretty much destroys the idea of internet communities as a whole.

In which this rhetorical has actually happened. Or this new trend of imitating the death of X by looking slumped in your car. Memes CAN bring the good in ppl. I do agree on that, But as of late, I've seen more of it bringing the bad side out of ppl, because of the anonymity the internet provides, and ppl loove abusing that and can get away with what they say. Memes CAN and DO bring the best & worst out of ppl. I do see memes, doing alil more harm than good. (Only as of late) I want to say, I do not agree with censorship and that is taking away from the ppl. I'm just stating of a potential "why" they would do it. I really do wish ppl had more self control and not abuse the privilege and be so godamn toxic. I'll tell you, wholeheartedly, I would vote against this bill. Ive been around for 21 years and I wish I haven't seen a lot of the bad memes and trends that I've witnessed over the course of time.

0 likes@Momo Ali I'm very strongly against article 13. I'm not the most in touch with copyright law but I know that what article 13 entails is really bad. However I've seen this narrative that leans towards censorship and though it does violate free speech in a way, it is clearly not an effort to ban memes. That's the narrative I'm going with and I do not have the expertise to go into detail about how I think copyright law should specifically be handled other than I think that the implications of piracy and plagiarism are overstated compared to the sacrifice that honest content creators have to make. Also I don't like the idea of justice heavily depending on how much money someone has.
0 likes@Hero Puddle Interesting, thanks for your opinion. My opinion is that the fair use policy should be used, but with an edit: YouTube should make a automated system demonitixing copyrighted content including reaction channels. It will only affect copyright after the law and not before. If a YouTuber has permission from the owner, there is a free pass. The law will avoid memes because there hasn't been any copyright complaints against them. Btw, i'm not an expert on this and i'm just proposing a theory.

1 likeZapchon I'm not saying we foresaw this specifically. If you read the comment I left, you'd see that I said that the EU has passed trivial/pointless laws in the past. One of the main reasons why the UK left was because of these unnessissary laws made in a completely different country which overruled the laws made in the actual country itself.
0 likesThe fact that you don't seem aware of the pointless rules the EU has imposed on the countries shows that you simply don't know what you are talking about or you're confused as to what I am saying.
Zapchon plus it's pretty subjective to say that it was definitely a bad decision considering the fact that we haven't even left yet.

It's not like Oskar Schindler and other German businessman kept their wealth from the holocaust, those businesses like Heinkel and Renault which suffered after or during the war respectively wouldn't have conspired either, and I'm sure a fair few of those 60 million might've been SS, Gestapo, NKVD and Imperial Japanese Officials like Tojo himself, not entirely innocent people.

Can I just say that I thought this was some joke? I didn’t think Europe would ban memes, much like America’s repeal on net neutrality. However, I just thought they would ban them because they find them “highly offensive”, I.e. Pepe is “White supremacist”. But this actually goes much deeper than I thought.

0 likesOn the Minute Memes timeline, we can assume that this video takes place after the E video because it's possible that the crash at the end of E corrupted some parts of the computer, and the intro and outro are 'corrupted' (the clock on the logo is the downward spiral, and everything is red). Minute Memes has some deep lore, I must say.
0 likesEmpLemon, I used to watch YouTube poops a long time ago, and I believe that I saw at least one of your old videos. Barely anyone talks about the "era" of YouTube where the most popular video game was Goat Simulator, and YouTube Poops consisted of "Weegee" and other randomness. This "era" of YouTube is quite possibly my favorite, as YouTube was much simpler back then. I wanted to suggest the idea of another YouTube Geographic video, that would be about this "era" of YouTube that I just mentioned. If you need any help on research, I have a few suggestions.
1 likeThere was a YouTube channel that I used to watch when I was incredibly young, called "95shade3", actually 95shade has multiple channels, and 95shade3 is just one of them. This channel is filled with old, crappy YouTube poops that the younger version of me found hilarious.
If you want to do research on the more "civilized" part of this era, then go watch some very old videos from DanTDM. I don't watch him now, but I used to watch him back when he did his old spore play through and old mod showcases, and I believe his channel is a perfect example of the gaming scene at the time.
I hope that EmpLemon reads this. I understand that YouTube Geogrpahic videos take a very long time to make, but this comment is just a suggestion.

0 likesA guide to how to make memes in this situation:
0 likes1.Recreate established memeformats for yourself and use them instead of the original one.
2.Delete new memeformats from the internet (that you posted) and make sure that people copied/recreated them and reposted them.
3.Tell every of your friends(especially the ones that don‘t stop talking) the whole story:“The Eu wants to establish an very strict upload filter that checks every upload on every website for a copyright abuse . This will destroy the whole Internet culture. You won’t se any remixes,Memes,lets plays (because the lets player doesn’t own a license to copy the game),Product reviews,many music gernes that are based on sampling (taking a part of a different song/track and chopping it up or looping a certain part)(THIS INCLUDES VAPOR WAVE,LOFI HIP HOP AND FUTURE FUNK) and basicly a third of the hip hop landscape(sampling...) due to the new Art. 13. This is not only the end for europas Internet but the end for Every Internet that ever existed.
4.Send links of videos about this topic to every of your friends. Dont spam the same video for every of your friend. Get a individual video for every friend.
5.Create memes about this. They have to follow our new ,,recreate meme templates“ formula.
6.AND THEN DEEP FRIE YOUR FAVORITE MEMES SO THAT THE EU FILTERS CANT DETECT THEM...

It always seemed to me, from the perspective of someone who voted to leave the EU, that the principal reason Britain voted to leave is what we perceived as the lack of affinity between us and the EU, that laws were being proposed and ultimately imposed on us by people who were so far removed they couldn't possibly understand us or indeed have any desire to understand us and act in our interest. This feeling of being governed from the outside, by people whose accountability is tenuous at best and not existent at worst, it doesn't sit well with people. I think citizens are right to be concerned about a lack of affinity between themselves and those who govern them, and a lack of public accountability within governing bodies.
20 likesToo often, those of us who were concerned about Britain's membership of the EU had our concerns ignored and were dismissed as xenophobic, but this recent passing of Articles 11 and 13 is surely further evidence to validate these concerns?
Replies (3)
This concern is absolutely legitimate, and is in fact what led the 13 colonies to revolt.
3 likesThe issue is that we(US Americans) stepped down from one form of corrupt government to one that quickly became just as corrupt. How do you expect the UK not to do the same? From what I've heard, they're even trying to pass their own version of Article 13 separate from the EU, though my understanding of UK politics is limited.
I'm not saying it was a bad idea to separate from the EU, overall, but what now? How do you get the greedy and entrenched in your nation to actually give up their power, rather than stomping on their people to preserve it?
What now indeed. It's a good question. The majority of MPs in the UK were in fact in favour of remain, most only accept the referendum decision reluctantly and some outright think the decision should be ignored and want to scupper the process of leaving. Needles to say, most British people don't hold their politicians in particularly high esteem, and don't have much more trust in them than they do the EU officials. Voting to leave the EU wasn't a panacea, and given that many of our own politicians are intent on stopping Brexit I'm still not sure the referendum decision will truly be implemented, but I think it is at least a step in the right direction, part of a process.

Also experts have estimated that the Euro will collapse (in 1 to 2 years) due to various reasons which are to complex to explain here, but sooner or later it all will end, but the costs will be very high.

11 likes@EmpLemon I truly do love memes my man, but I will say, I kinda understand why the EU wants to get rid of memes. There are some very very toxic memes and trends emp. You know as well as I do, how absolutley cancerous memes can be, young ppl are into memes, so if u got a trend of saying "nigger" going on, young ppl being impressionable as they are, will repeat history and start spamming that word chaotcally. In which this rhetorical has actually happened. Or this new trend of imitating the death of X by looking slumped in your car. Memes CAN bring the good in ppl. I do agree on that, But as of late, I've seen more of it bringing the bad side out of ppl, because of the anonymity the internet provides, and ppl loove abusing that and can get away with what they say. Memes CAN and DO bring the best & worst out of ppl. I do see memes, doing alil more harm than good. (Only as of late)

1 likeMemes aren't just funny internet pictures. Funny internet pictures just happen to be memes.
5 likesMemes are ideas that spread and mutate from person to person in an attempt to represent and spread a message. Be that message a "HA" or a call to action against one's government.
Fliers and advertisements can also be defined as memes, so can be political opinions. In building the infrastructure to stop the spread of copyrighted memes, Europe will also be building a system that they can, at any time, turn on the public.
Anti-EU sentiment spreading throughout Germany through a meme? That's fine, we now have the infrastructure to censor that. A meme that aggrandizes an enemy of the EU? Not on our internet.
Meanwhile, EU regulations on the internet are further-reaching than just the EU. If websites want to be visible in Europe, they have to give in to the demands of the EU or become invisible. Same principle in the US.
In other words, the European Union is very likely to develop a technology in the interests of major corporations and copyright holders, and then once their technology is matured, they'll be able to turn it into a political tool anytime they like.

Hello! Anyone heard of a book called Pirate Cinema? It's by Cory Doctorow, one of my favorite authors. The book is from 2012. Here's the summary: "The novel is set in a dystopian near-future Britain where the government is effectively controlled by media corporations. The main character, Trent McCauley, has had his internet access cut for reassembling downloaded films on his computer and, living rough on the streets of London, is trying to fight the introduction of a new draconian copyright law." So this book basically predicted the future. Well, not entirely, as in this case, it's all of the EU that's affected, but Brexit happened.

Unfortunately our current government would like this as well. Our sitting PM is very anti-privacy, and she literally said she'd strip any human rights laws that get in her way. The Tories were, and still are, undecided on Brexit, so who knows what's going to happen then.
1 likeLabour and the Lib Dems aren't perfect either: Corbyn stated that he wouldn't remove any surveillance laws put in place, and the Lib Dems, who said they would strip such laws, have no chance of getting a majority right now, and their last leader was homophobic, which likely prevented potential voters.

The whole document was rather lengthy and some parts of it were implemented. Things like anti-terror laws, spying on people were there. The most dangerous parts like the upload filters were not implemented as now. Some say it's just been postponed, others say we're safe, cause they figured it was too hard to implement. The other elements did happen for real. Some anti-terrorism spy stuff had come up, and France incorporated the whole Quotation-Tax, so that Google would have to pay for showing content of a website in its search results, because this way people have no reason to visit the website and give ad-revenue, as they see everything right there. Google decided that when presenting French websites in results, they will only show the headline, not the content, so they don't have to pay a thing. France got super angry, because now French sites had much less views, and.... not even sure if things are still this way.

1 likeEveryone should be sceptical of the EU as with most things, but don't you think you should seek to inform on a wholesome basis rather then just spreading anger over the political aspect of the EU. The EU is more then anything economic, and its breakup would be utterly disastrous for every European economy and especially that of southern and eastern Europeans. Political dissatisfaction should not drown out the reality of economic hardship, and by spreading one way political euro scepticism with two minuet video you are risking a harder future for hundreds of millions of people. I think the EU is likely to collapse, but not without bringing what is left of Europe might and relevance with it for good. With all other powers on the rise we are living on a nearly lost continent, one which had one chance through the EU to make it big again, and we should be trying to fix it, not write our future off.

0 likesPeople have been calling out the degradation of western culture (especially Europe) for the last few years, but what’s the tipping point?

0 likesis this real? I thought this was a joke, and I kinda still do.
I don't get why everyone is freaking out about this "death of all memes". They aren't trying to ban memes, they're enforcing stricter control over intellectual property (copyright). Specifically, article 13 requires internet providers to employ automatic algorithms to weed out copyright abuse, like what YouTube does. The "connection" is that because memes often sample contemporary works, they'll be completely destroyed, which is definitely an exaggeration.
0 likesArticle 13 is shitty, and I DEFINITELY oppose it, because copyright law in general is turbo-aids, but whenever people talk about "the EU voting to ban memes," I can't help but feel that they fundamentally don't understand what's going on.
Article 11 is also super shitty, for other reasons pertinent to how social media platforms link news articles (requires licenses of sorts). The argument is that it would drive traffic for the news away from social media, and back towards the official news sites. I don't really see that working even slightly, and it just seems like unnecessary interference.
So yeah, oppose the legislation, but do it because it's a shitty piece of legislation, not because your favorite twitter account says it's going to literally ban memes.
It is more about the control over the information shared on the internet. How anyone can defend the EU when their goals are clear well against the people they rule over is beyond me.

Everyone burst out in laughter as he shows them relatable memes about smoking and other sexual topics. His "specialty" his dead in FNAF and Baldi's Basics memes. He treats his teachers like garbage and spends half his day in detentions, yet his grade worships him like a god.

0 likesPaul Robertson Yeah it's pretty bad Tommy Robinson was a right wing journalist in England who was literally thrown in jail for a while I don't know if he's out or not, but it was for speaking out against Islam and the rapes and crime caused by them all over Europe its bad over there and bad in U.S things like that have happened to as well but at least we still have a decent grip on are rights like free speech and right to bare arms. Wheather it will stay that way I can't say.
0 likesCameron Dempsey Wow, that sounds awful. Thanks for mentioning that, I'll do some research into him. Still, the US just got rid of net neutrality so I don't know if it would be accurate to say we still have a "grip over free speech". Removing net neutrality is way more damaging than banning copyrighted internet content because it will prevent people from readily accessing the internet. This is what no net neutrality can lead to, it's happened in Spain and Portugal: https://qz.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/net_neturality1-e1509289851528.png?w=831

+Achil ADRIEN They want to ban using copyrighted material without permission. This incldes small clips, pictures of movie scenes, images, gifs and other stuff. This also would indirectly include most meme material. You won't be punished for using it, but the website you use it on will. That means that most not-original memes wilo be taken down through a complicated filtering system. If you use a clip from Star Wars for edample it might be instantly taken down.

While this is great, I feel that it's necessary that you go into more detail on this. After all, something as big as an entire continent having memes be wiped away from it deserves a video on a grander scale.
0 likesWe need to make memes great again!
1 likeI just can't help myself to laugh my ass off when i think on the phrase ''Illegal meme''
1 likeThis isn't a "meme ban". The Article 13 porpuse is not to specifically ban memes, it rather is to protect copyrighted content. And so, only SOME memes will be banned, the ones with copyrighted content.
1 likeBut I still hate this shit lol. At least it is FAR AWAY from this being approved, it will still need to go through several votes.
If memes do happen to be banned, memes like loss may be able to survive due to how subtle they are.
0 likesIf you actually looked into this you’d realize things are most likely gonna be fine. All it entitles is that users can go after there copyrighted material. Most people will do nothing. It would be impossible, or the cost would be to much to justify, getting a team to scan every meme, determine if it is copyrighted, and track down the online user and sue them. Especially since a lot of meme material is from America, overseas court cases would be extremely expensive, defeating there purpose entirely. Also hundreds of thousands of memes are posted every day as well, and if taken to court the defendant could argue fair use, as well as the terms for this are written in the broadest possible way, so arguing in court is easy. The media has mislead you extremely.
0 likesHow can they possibly even ban a subject as broad and vague as memes, what even defines what makes a meme and doesn't

Only criticism I have is saying there is an “evil” side in WWII. I’m not trying to defend what happened or the holocaust or the war itself. However, to blanket a side as evil for whatever reason, you’ll just look over actual motives and often learn less from the conflict. It might even go as far to having even a monument to their own dead soldiers on their own land toppled (much like what happened in Durham, Which was absolutely unacceptable, even from a licolnist point of view.)
