European Parliament's new controversial directive is meant to address copyright infringements and allow news organisations collect more licensing fees from news aggregators like Facebook and Google News.
The building of the European Parliament, designed by Architecture-Studio architects, is seen in Strasbourg, France March 26, 2019.
The final version of the law includes two of its most controversial clauses, Articles 11 and 13, despite a last-minute proposal to remove the latter, which was rejected. Critics worry it would force technology companies to adopt automated upload filters that would restrict user freedoms. Article 11, dubbed the “link tax,” could meanwhile restrict access to news articles by charging a fee to those who merely link to them.
“Concerning this particular directive, it is a failure of the European Commission and the Parliament to reform copyright issues. It is a weak effort across the EU that imposes even more restrictive enforcement,” he said. “This is not the way to go.” German EPP legislator Axel Voss meanwhile assured parliament ahead of the vote that the law addresses this very issue.
