Article 13 Was Purposefully Designed To Be Awful For The Internet; EU Moves Forward With It Anyway

This happened despite the fact that there's basically no one left who supports this version of Article 13. The public is widely against it. The internet companies are against it.

It would, effectively, make it nearly impossible for any website to ever host any user-generated content. In nearly all cases it would require expensive and problematic upload filters.
