"Today I am announcing a new @UN Communications Response Initiative to flood the Internet with facts & science while countering the growing scourge of misinformation -- a poison that is putting even more lives at risk."

at the end of the week some good EU #copyright news: the @EU_Commission has selected the @creativecommons BY 4.0 license as the new standard license for all information published by the EU institutions: https://t.co/5Jgl6or0RF in a comparative study CC-BY got a perfect score card
MEPs chose to ignore their constituents: the 5 million EU citizens who signed the petition on @ChangeGER; the thousands of emails and telephone calls; & the +170K people who protested on the streets, weekend after weekend. #SaveYourInternet

BREAKING: Europe’s MEPs cave to lobbyists, ignore five million online petitioners, hundreds of thousands of protesters, and approve #article13 and #article11. Find out what happens to the disastrous Copyright Directive next: https://t.co/gnS01Mt952
Dark day for internet freedom: The @Europarl_EN has rubber-stamped copyright reform including #Article13 and #Article11. MEPs refused to even consider amendments. The results of the final vote: 348 in favor, 274 against #SaveYourInternet
Das wars - die Abstimmung über #Artikel13 wurde leider sehr knapp nicht vorgezogen. Danach wurde die Urheberrechtsdirektive inkl. Uploadfilter mit 348 Stimmen dafür angenommen. Wir sind enttäuscht. #SaveYourInternet
For years, the #SaveYourInternet movement has bravely fought Article 13 to stop creative expression being blocked online. Today European Parliament holds a final vote. We hope MEPs vote against Article 13 to protect the livelihoods of European creators.

150,000+ people across Europe took to the streets this weekend to protest against Article 13 #SaveYourInternet@Europarl_EN, please read this open letter from creators around Europe asking MEPs to vote against Article 13: https://t.co/1SlXP6otjC
Dans moins de 24h, le parlement européen pourra confirmer, comme avec le rejet d'ACTA, son rôle de garant des libertés. Mme et M. les MEPs, soyez à la hauteur de l'enjeu, rejetez le filtrage automatisé ! Dites non à l'article 13 ! https://t.co/7dCQmK4pHZ #saveyourinternet
Aussage „Ich stimme gegen #Artikel11 und #Artikel13“ hat definitiv am meisten Applaus von den Schüler*innen bekommen.
Gefolgt von „Seenotrettung darf nicht kriminalisiert werden“ und „Die Hälfte der Macht gehört uns!“
The kids are alright.

It's just 2 days before the European Parliament votes on Article 13. Eric Schrijver @copythisbook has created this illustrated explainer showing what Article 13 could look like in practice ✏️ #SaveYourInternet
If you’re creating memes to make a statement or just for fun, we’ve got bad news. If new rules are voted through, memes could be blocked before they are even uploaded #SaveYourInternet
Creators need a quality space to share their content with fans. But even that is under threat. To comply with new potential EU rules, Internet platforms will be forced to filter the content you upload #SaveYourInternet
More than 100.000 people took to the streets in 50 cities in Germany to protest against Uploadfilters and for an updated copyright-regime. It’s incredible, these are the biggest protests for an open internet ever! Stop #artikel13 in the European Parliament!
