Do you think they used the opportunity to dig in and spread fibreoptics? Of course not. #germany

@alcinnz I can tell you this is not a well organized campaign.

On the publishers' side, though, I am pretty sure that's a different story.

Nobody is asking for exceptions. Wikipedia doesn't want the #Art13 exception. They want Art13 fixed for everyone. So does everyone else.

Apparently the publishers are going bananas about #Wikipedia involvement in #Art11 #Art13 #saveyourinternet. They sent this to ALL MEPs:

I find it absolutely hilarious!

As a partner organisation of @torservers, we are appalled by the raids at Zwiebelfreunde e.V. and CCC Augsburg.

Raiding houses of witnesses on a flimsy pretext is incompatible with the rule of law – even more so in this case where there is no credible connection between the so-called witnesses and the case.

We suspect that the real motives of the Munich public prosecutor are intimidation and illegal information gathering about freedom activists.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!

We need people to call their MEPs. Most importantly:
- Romanian S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=RO&politicalGroup=4280
- Romanian EPP:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=RO&politicalGroup=4269
- British S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=GB&politicalGroup=4280
- British ECR:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=GB&politicalGroup=4271
- Italian S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=IT&politicalGroup=4280
- Polish EPP:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=PL&politicalGroup=4269

Please report back (in a private message, preferably) what they say! This would help us a LOT!

#Art11 #Art13 #SaveYourInternet

I'm in Strasbourg, lobbying hard. Updates soon, but was able to talk to Axel Voss, the main guy behind the current (bad) versions of #Art11 and #Art13. Doing my best to #SaveYourInternet.

Lessons from today:
- Pro-Art11/Art13 MEPs do not know how copyright law works (no surprises there, the copyright law is a mess!)
- Wikimedia Commons is a very good example of a service that could suffer very much.
- As during #ACTA, MEPs are not entirely against sitting down and discussing the issues.

Email migrated, setup complete. Huge thanks to @gonzalo for a kickass ansible job!

@mike Some appreciation for your work: https://pauladamsmith.com/blog/2018/07/fixing-bufferbloat-on-your-home-network-with-openbsd-6.2-or-newer.html 👍🏻

An important piece of context I'm not sure everybody has: OpenSSH is the single best piece of computer networking software ever made. It is the Swiss army knife of networking, an internet power user's chef's spatula.

I wanna make sure we're on the same page about this.

heard there is a openbsd kernel patch you should be running which hangs your computer on startup until computers are verified safe to use again

Hey @stsp do you need help with urtwn?

@brennen email a patch ;)

'Some are blaming the EU for the vote for #UploadFilters and #LinkTax, but don’t be fooled: Anti-EU politicians like #ENF voted in favour of both articles! Without them, the Link Tax would have been rejected. Now help me #FixCopyright in the plenary vote in July'
