Oh, and mark my words -- as soon as the copyfraud lobby starts losing the debate around #Article11 and #Article13, they *will* take out the big guns: child pornography and terrorism.
When (not "if"!) that happens, remember: I called it!
@maradydd I was thinking about this very thing. Reached out to some people. Some people got involved. There are good people already on it -- Julia Reda is one, obviously. Asta is another.
Figuring out a comms channel.
And then, yes,m we need a strategy. There are so many things we can prepare for before they happen, we have the ACTA experience after all.
@rysiek I was also thinking zoobab, not sure where he hangs out in the fediverse -- he did a lot of work with Pieter Hintjens back when software patents were on the table (thank you, Poland!)
@maradydd wow, people still remember! Boy was I young and naive, got to put up a banner about swpats on the site of the lab I worked at... good times.
I don't believe I met zoobab. Quick fedisearch returns nothing...
Upload filters for CP I could buy, _maybe_.
@pettter yeah, upload filters was what I was referring to.
And about the link tax... they are already saying that "it will help fight fake news" (which is demonstrably bullshit); if they can pull that out of their collective arses, they can pull anything else too.
@rysiek Of course they will. What arguments shall we prepare in response? (Serious question. Let's do some coalition-building.)
