EU Internet Laws, censorship and R&E...

I agree with NS. The EI law on cookies is now applied across the board because compliance is easier than not. I think hyperlinks to news articles could be covered. The parodies that we’ve linked to on here will be gone. Memes.And fan created content. My kids both read, view and create fan fic and fan art and publish some online. They’ll go, surely.

Does it matter to us whatever the EU does? We're out soon and will be making our own laws.

Most internet platforms have applied EU law on cookies on a global basis. It is probably going to be easier for most platforms to apply this law on the same basis ie. the internet will be changed internationally.

No we are not soon out. There’s a two year transition period for starters and even after that, the EU is quite a powerful bloc and so we will feel the consequences of its actions. Were we not leaving, we could stop things like this from happening, if we so chose.
