If anyone is still buying the “Article 13 is a good thing!”, know that Wikipedia is worried about it. If that doesn’t ring any bells, I don’t know what will.
Here is a link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/EU_policy/2018_European_Parliament_vote
And also, Ao3 has pulled the alarms on it: https://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/10706
Save Your Internet. Tumblr was all up and about on Net Neutrality – help the European Union do the same.
Wikipedia Italy has been offline since yesterday ( 3rd of July) to protest the directive and raise awareness to the issue.
These are the links in English if anyone wants to check them out:

To anyone still asking:
“Implementation of Article 13 results in a total real-time filtering of every piece of content that will be uploaded to the internet.
What this means: Every data package will be automatically scanned by a potentially error-prone algorithm.
This is comparable to the erroneous algorithm deployed by YouTube, which often mistakenly deletes content that is not protected by copyright law.”
Say bye-bye to good fanart, memes, live streaming and all that you like to do on the internet.
