Final Reminder: Tell The EU Commission Not To Wreck The Internet With Poorly Thought Out Regulations

Join us in telling EU regulators not to wreck the net.

They're wrong on both accounts and need to hear from people -- both inside and outside the EU. Such rules will not stop bad stuff from happening, and actually could make it more difficult to track down when necessary. And, it will almost certainly further entrench the biggest internet companies, as they'll have the resources (both money and people) to deal with the monitoring requirements, while startups will be unfairly harmed and burdened by such demands. Imagine trying to enter the video space today if you were required to build your own ContentID system first.
So please join all the people and companies who have already signed on and sign our letter as well. Thanks.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
