This is complete utter bullshit, why would you want to ban memes? it doesn't make sense? I mean on steemit it may do but on platforms like facebook and google it doesn't absolutely make sense at all, because most of them are just for fun.
It's like saying they've invented a law which copyrights jokes made by comedians.
Its no bullshit, this is happening, their also talking about taxation of hyperlinks
Now they're just going crazy, how can you tax hyperlinks, how is that even possible. If you told me this years ago I would've called bullshit on this because in no way this is actually true.
I made my duck search an english article, and this is what she found. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150708/15115331584/eu-politicians-try-to-create-new-link-tax-to-protect-newspapers-who-dont-like-sites-linking-free.shtml
