Europe's New 'Link tax' Will Mean You Need a Literal License to Link to Things

On Wednesday, a European Union committee will vote on Article 11, a proposal to create a new copyright over links to news stories. If the proposal is adopted, a service that publishes a link to a story on a news website with a headline or a short snippet would have to get a license before linking. News sites could charge whatever they want for these licenses, and shut down critics by refusing to license to people with whom they disagreed. And the new rule would apply to any service where a link to a news story can appear, including social media platforms, search engines, blogging platforms, and even nonprofits like Wikipedia.

lol. This would be fucking horrible. It would literally break the internet.

 

Racist has always been racist...

- “He railed against bilingual announcements, asking in a local editorial why there were ‘usually very few, if any, Hispanic students in my honors classes, despite the large number of Hispanic students that attend our school.’”

- “Latino students remembered him engaging them outside group meetings, asking why they required a separate forum to discuss issues of identity, and chafing at Spanish being spoken in the halls.”

- Jason Islas, a friend, was informed by Miller that their friendship needed to end because of Islas’ social awkwardness, “acne-specked face,” and his “Latino heritage.”

and of course this gem: “He jumped, uninvited, into the final stretch of a girls’ track meet, apparently intent on proving his athletic supremacy over the opposite sex.”

 

Proud of my union
New York City agrees to provide paid family leave to teachers

Phase 1: Create crisis
Phase 2: Blame everyone else for crisis for 3 days
Phase 3: “Fix” crisis you created, bask in praise for getting shit done.

The fact they continually pull this off is amazing.

And the fact their fix is engineered to be challenged by the courts so they can present it as more proof of everyone having it out for them is typical.

 

Ok so we're going back to keeping families detained together in subhuman conditions? Let's still be pissed off please.

Lawmakers banned from talking to detained migrant kids

Lawmakers are now banned from speaking with migrant children who are held at detention centers after being separated from their parents, according to a new Department of Heath and Human Services (HHS) directive sent to congressional offices on Wednesday.

The directive also states that lawmakers must give two weeks' notice before traveling to an immigrant detention center. They will be barred from entering if they do not give the advanced notice.

 

Oh fuck this forever

 

Of course
