The EU's Controversial Copyright Law Has Been Rejected -- For Now tech.slashdot.org/story/18/07/
A great success - but not yet a complete victory. The show goes on, so don't put your hands down yet.

The fact hat Article 13 was rejected is great, but we need to keep the protests up as it will be voted upon again in September, so in the meantime, there needs to be a relentless buzz in the ears of all MEPs that voting to keep this in is a terrible idea.

Great work btw by Julia Reda among others on this.

YES! It worked, the European Parliament rejected the copyright proposals!

WELL DONE!!!

Privacy is important too! We will add more user moderation tools. #pixelfed #privacy

From the Riot Privacy Policy:
"Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT [Do Not Track] signal, Riot Games does not currently respond to browser DNT signals on the Riot services."

I'll give you a clue, Riot. It's in the name: 'Do Not Track'.

How's that for a common understanding?

@aeonofdiscord I've been told that the "Stylus" fork of the old code is a work-alike that is still good.

Vote on EU copyright directive (including #Article13) is tomorrow! Please call your MEP today and tell them to vote against the changes.

@rysiek met MEPs in real life, here are tips:

-Calling MEPs is way more effective than e-mailing them.

-If you can, please *call* your MEPs. Find your MEP here: europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map

-If you'd rather e-mail, write 2-3 paragraphs in own words, from your e-mail address. Even if it's not as slick as the template, it will work way better!

Apparently the publishers are going bananas about #Wikipedia involvement in #Art11 #Art13 #saveyourinternet. They sent this to ALL MEPs:
