Really, this is something to wonder?

What is Article 13? Controversial EU copyright law faces final vote
© Global Look / Ben Kriemann

A hotly-contested copyright provision is haunting Europe, troubling
internet freedom advocates and content creators alike. Article 13, facing
its final vote, would place heavy restrictions on content sharing, from
films to memes.

The proposed law requires anyone sharing copyrighted content to obtain
permission from rights owners, even if the content is just an animated gif
on Twitter. Even repurposing an image for a meme would require permission
from the image's creator, because while memes are protected as parodies
under current copyright law, an automated filter is incapable of
distinguishing between a parody and a ripoff.

government

If the new directive passes, user-generated content platforms from
Facebook to Wikipedia would be forced to implement “upload filters” to
ensure material doesn’t run afoul of someone else’s copyright or risk
being sued. The filter would analyze the content being uploaded, compare
it to a database of copyrighted works, and either permit its passage or
kick it back to the uploader. Prohibitively expensive, vulnerable to bugs,
and prone to extensive collateral censorship, such filters have the
potential to effectively hobble the free exchange of information the
internet has come to represent.

A version of Article 13 passed the Parliament in September despite
widespread public outcry and mutated into an even more restrictive
proposal during closed-door negotiations between lawmakers and major
corporations. It faces a final vote before becoming law.

For these reasons and more, many internet users are aghast at the prospect
that the law might pass. It’s hard to imagine the information
superhighway reduced to a stop-and-go toll road, even as in recent years
speech on social media has become markedly less free.

The notion of shackling the internet to fit copyright demands most
creators are not making – essentially shoving the information-freedom
genie back in the bottle – has drawn opposition from internet royalty,
including Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the world wide web himself.
Some 70 online pioneers signed a letter warning the legislation turns the
web into “a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its
users.”

User-generated content platforms, including Reddit, Twitch, Pornhub and
Wikipedia, staged protests against their impending doom, blacking their
landing pages for a day, while tens of thousands of protesters took to the
streets in cities across Europe.

“Dozens of MEPs are undecided on how to vote,” the Electronic Frontier
Foundation tweeted, highlighting the “Save Your Internet” campaign it
has vowed to fight to the bitter end. “Everyone is against it: artists,
small businesses, big businesses, the Internet’s creators, and over 5
million people who signed the petition to stop the censorship machine it
would create,” the group said.

It’s hard to find supporters for the restrictive provision outside of
member governments and wealthy copyright-holding corporations. “Such
sweeping pressure for pre-publication filtering is neither a necessary nor
proportionate response to copyright infringement online,” lamented David
Kaye, UN special rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression.
Also on rt.com Google flipped seats, shifted millions of votes to Dems in
2018 midterms, researcher tells RT

Recording industry groups IMPALA, Association of Independent Music, Dutch
Collecting Society for Music Works, and International Confederation of
Societies of Authors and Composers have united to cheer the legislation
on. Their fortunes were made before the internet, and will continue even
if the internet is crippled with regulations.

It’s no exaggeration to say Article 13 has the potential to change the
internet as Europeans know it – and the rest of the world would be
foolish to think its effects will stop at the EU’s borders. It remains
to be seen whether the European Parliament is willing to defy the will of
the people for short-term profits.

and it seems like it is not only the eu, more like an orchestrated attack:

https://www.attorneygeneral.gov.au/Media/Pages/Tough-new-laws-to-protect-Australians-from-live-streaming-violent-crimes.aspx

Media release

The Hon Scott Morrison MP
Prime Minister

The Hon Christian Porter MP
Attorney-General

Senator The Hon Mitch Fifield
Minister for Communications
Minister for Arts

The Morrison Government will legislate tough new laws to prevent the weaponising of social media platforms and to protect Australians from the live-streaming of violent crimes, such as the Christchurch terror attack.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the new legislation would be introduced into Parliament next week as part of the action the Government was taking to keep Australians safe in the wake of the Christchurch terrorist attacks.

“Big social media companies have a responsibility to take every possible action to ensure their technology products are not exploited by murderous terrorists,” the Prime Minister said.

“It should not just be a matter of just doing the right thing. It should be the law. And that is what my Government will be doing next week to force social media companies to get their act together and work with law enforcement and intelligence agencies to defuse the threat their technologies can present to the safety of Australians.

“This is about keeping Australians safe by forcing social media companies to step up and do what the community expects of them to stop terrorists and criminals spreading their hate.

“A new taskforce bringing Government and social media companies together will also ensure we are all working together to deny terrorists the opportunity to use social media as part of their hatred and violence.

“These responses will form the basis of a model approach that Australia can take to the G20 to get our global partners on board to bring social media companies into our collective net of responsibility and accountability. We are already working to this end with our G20 and five eyes partners, including New Zealand.”

The Attorney-General Christian Porter said, “the Criminal Code Amendment (Unlawful Showing of Abhorrent Violent Material) Bill 2019 will include new offences with penalties of up 10 per cent of a company’s annual turnover and potential prison sentences for executives of social media companies who fail to act to remove abhorrent violent material from their platforms.”

“The Morrison Government will always act to keep Australians safe, and that includes keeping Australians safe online.”

Minister for Communications, Mitch Fifield said that “social media companies, like Facebook, which met with the Prime Minister, the Attorney-General, myself and Minister Dutton earlier this week did not present any immediate solutions to the issues arising out of the horror that occurred in Christchurch.”

“We will not allow social media platforms to be weaponised by terrorists and violent extremists who seek to harm and kill and nor would we allow a situation that a young Australian child could log onto social media and watch a mass murder take place.”

The Attorney-General said the amendments would be modelled on existing offences in the Criminal Code which require platforms to notify police if their service is being used to access child pornography.

“Mainstream media that broadcast such material would be putting their licence at risk and there is no reason why social media platforms should be treated any differently,” the Attorney-General said.

“These companies have a social responsibility and they have clearly failed to meet that responsibility in their response to Christchurch. The Morrison Government will force action from these companies through these new laws.”

The Bill will include new provisions to deal with the showing of “abhorrent violent material” which is material produced by a perpetrator, and which plays or livestreams the very worst types of offences. It will capture the playing or streaming of terrorism, murder, attempted murder, torture, rape and kidnapping on social media.

It will include two new sets of offences:

It will be a criminal offence for social media platforms not to remove abhorrent violent material expeditiously. This will be punishable by 3 years’ imprisonment or fines that can reach up to 10% of the platform’s annual turnover.
Platforms anywhere in the world must notify the AFP if they become aware their service is streaming abhorrent violent conduct that is happening in Australia. A failure to do this will be punishable by fines of up to $168,000 for an individual or $840,000 for a corporation.

The e-Safety Commissioner will be given the power to issue notices that bring this type of material to the attention of the social media companies. As soon as they receive a notice, they will be deemed to be aware of the material, meaning the clock starts ticking for the platform to remove the material or face extremely serious criminal penalties.

“The Bill will not impact the ability of news media to report on events which are in the public interest,” Minister Fifield said.

“Australia’s mainstream media already adopt a sensible approach to broadcasting material which can cause harm to individuals, as is required under their licensing arrangements.”

“The focus of this Bill is to put responsibility back on the social media giants to prevent their platforms being co-opted by terrorists, criminals and violent extremists,” the Attorney-General said.

what might sound reasonable at first glance (who wants to look at that anyway), implies the same technical setup as now in the eu: automated controls of everything you upload. and because the controls will not work right, everybody will want to err on the safe side and be super strict (almost like a whitelisting in the end).
slightly related: reddit has simply closed /r/dankmemes for now, because they don't understand what the new law will imply for them.
it makes me want to puke.

Do they even understand how the internet works?

Do they understand jurisdiction?
