Does it not?
Nothing i've read on the subject has stated "doesn't include b3ta"
Even if somehow it doesn't don't you think mass censorship of communications in Europe is a bad thing?

A proposal to alter copyright law is not mass censorship, you utter moron.

Ooh someone called me a name on the internet :(
Tell me, how is automatically vetting peoples uploads of audio, video, text etc against databases of prohibited items not mass censorship? It prohibit it is censorship and the mere checking of peoples uploads is mass surveillance.
You twat.

If you believe that b3ta is a satire and humour site (which I believe it to be), then copyright violations don't apply, as you have fair use rules in place to protect satirical material.
Secondly b3ta is not a medium/large scale organisation to which this legislation applies, b3ta is the definitive micro-organisation which is explicitly exempted in the wording.
Do I think this law is good? No, it's largely unenforceable, willfully misunderstands how the web works and is going to be very expensive for companies to implement. It's not censorship though, it's just crap legislation.

So the reasoning is b3ta is too small. ok
What about wikipedia, reddit, github, wordpress, comments sections of newspapers etc? All those will be required to pass every upload onto another server to check if it's ok by the computer algorithms.
And as for satire, lets hope A.I has a full an rounded knowledge of satire shall we?

Literally the best copyright detection software in the market is the YouTube one
It's fooled by tiny variances, Eg. Crop the image a tiny bit, speed the video up a tiny amount .. Done.
It's most definitely not AI and it just won't be effective.
Crap legislation.

For video proberbly, for images google is spot on.
Put half of /board into google image search and it'll find the originals.
And text, source code etc. Can't see there being any issue.
Make a subversive comment like
"Type 2 diabetes? I’m Lovin’ It,"
(comment blocked due to trademark violation.)
Create protest artwork against a multinational using their logo somewhere in it? (image blocked due to violation of intellectual property.)
It won't cost a thing to make a claim to get a video, image, text, code whatever blocked either. Don't like something? Make a false claim.
Facial recognition is pretty damn good now. What is someone like Trump claims the rights to his image? Shit ton of political images just got wiped from the internet.
And even if you've done everthing right, created something original or used images you have a right to use. There's always false positives. Get something blocked unfairly, what is the appeals process? How long and how much does it cost?
I'ld go beyond crap legislation and say bloody dangerous legislation. Once this is established then it'll only get stronger due to the increasing power of AI.
If the tories tried this shit there's no way it would fly but because it's the eu most people don't even know it's happening. And when it does, then a whole bunch of europhile's will bend over backwards to make excuses for it.
