Tak už je to tu, česká #Wikipedia nejede. Každý si může vyzkoušet, jak mu tato encyklopedie (ne)chybí. Protože pokud projde #směrnice o autorských právech, může být #šmitec nejen s Wikipedií, ale i s webem tak, jak ho známe. Pište europoslancům!

#Geofabrik is joining #Wikipedia, http://OpenStreetMap.de & many others by blacking out their http://download.geofabrik.de web site for a day to make people aware of the threat that #artikel13 of the planned #EU #copyright directive poses for #OpenStreetMap. #uploadfilter #SaveYourInternet

Protests are being planned across Europe for 23 March against Articles 11 and 13. Find one near you or create your own demonstration: https://savetheinternet.info/demos

Whenever some venture capitalist or Singularity University lobbyist or Silicon Valley tech bro mentions “exponential growth” or “accelerating growth” just look them straight in the eye, say “tumour”, and walk away.

EU*: let's learn from Brexit by reforming.
also EU*: let's prepare for the European elections in May by breaking the internet for the people who actually know how to use it and not be used by it.

Breaking: @ManfredWeber and the @EPPGroup want the vote on #Article13 and the Copyright Directive moved ahead to next week to pre-empt the #SaveYourInternet/#StopACTA2 protests! We need a public outcry to stop this!
