This is a link post The internet just got a little less free.
/board and /links might be in a bit trouble here.

Hope the crack B3ta coding team is up to the task of autoscanning scanning every upload here for copyright violations.

This is a normal post Don't be so sure. If it's not formally opposed these things can just default into law.
If you've been to Greece lately and noticed there are no longer bottles of olive oil and vinegar on all the restaurant tables, look up that batshit legislation and how it arrived.

Well that's a nice way to increase the amount of single use plastic pollution.
For fucks sake the EU makes it too easy for sceptics sometimes.

I'd assume the only people who are going to add images to the database are stock photo sites, so hopefully the main impact will be to have all these removed from Google Images.

Also, creating and policing that database sounds a fucker. Can't see it getting very far.

This is a normal post 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?

This is a normal post 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.

receive fair remuneration for the use of their works online. But we cannot support Article
13, which would mandate Internet platforms to embed an automated infrastructure for
monitoring and censorship deep into their networks"

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.

This is a normal post 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?

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post 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.

This is a normal post Yeah it is,
Every now and then my work's filter get set to default settings, which means b3ta suddenly requires me to click through an "Are you sure you're supposed to be looking at this?" screen. A day later it's be back to normal again.
