Let's start immediately with the most painful point of this new European CopyRight regulation, or what changes for users? In practice, nothing, there will be no form of censorship, they will be able to continue sharing SNIPPET, MEME and GIF. So let's be reassured, there may be only a few problems due to the automatic algorithms that big data, Google, Facebook will have to integrate to automatically recognize copyright infringements that could be wrong. But even here nothing new, it already happens with the USA copyright act , which in my opinion is considerably more fair and correct than this new directive wanted by the publishers in trouble, the US law also protects us microscopic authors. All non-profit platforms, including Wikipedia, are excluded from the CopyRight directive, so it shouldn't affect these realities.
CopyRight Directive and web giants
The giants of the Web, therefore Google, FaceBook, Instagram, Youtube, etc ... will have to activate preventive filters and become responsible in case of violations, this is the real news, even if the journalists behind the possibility of sharing profits are focusing a lot on lucrative part, that is, the Big companies should share the revenues with the publishers, hoping to make a profit for example from Google News, but as happened in Spain, they will be disappointed, the service will either close or give visibility to Copyleft content and small newspapers and blogs. This is because the real problem of European publishing is that it does not produce quality content, on the contrary, often especially with regard to politics and economics, it dedicates itself to opinions and propaganda.
The content filter only affects large consolidated realities, small realities are excluded, so you will not have to implement it on your ecommerce in PrestaShop or on your company site in Joomla, unless at the hosting level. Startups with less than 3 years of life and with a turnover of less than 10,000,000 euros and a monthly traffic of less than 5,000,000 unique visitors are exempt.
