Reply To: EU link tax – Article 13

I fear we are in the dark waters of talking about politics on BoW, something that should be avoided if at all possible here.

 

That being said, this seems to be a good article explaining what is going on

 

EU censorship machines and link tax laws are nearing the finish line

 

Looks like the next key vote is on June 20th, with it currently looking like MEP’s will vote it onto the next stage. Which will take effect in about 2 years if that is the case. Weirdly seems focussed on news for links, and specifically, depending on the interpretation of a key paragraph in the draft legislation, it might be that links themselves are fine, it’s only if you actually include the text from the article that is liable, but there is debate whether the link itself having, say, the title of the linked article in would actually constitute a significant piece of text from the article.
