Hi Everyone,
As youse may or may not have known by now, the Copyright Directive recently passed by 348 to 278 votes in the EU Parliament despite a lot of opposition to it and now as of today, what a surprise(!), many EU Member States voted in favour to implement the Directive which will effectively end the free internet as we see it. Therefore, I hope sites like Steemit, Brighteon.com, Minds.com and View.ly, even including personalisation sites away from Europe, will have to make the difficult decision to pull their services out of Europe if it means continuing to remain the free websites that they should be. Many customers within Europe will have to use VPNs just to access and get products from their sites. They will see visiting numbers and orders go down but the slight sacrifice will be worth it.
With that said about the EU, I find it hard to comprehend that many people, especially here in Scotland, still treat the EU like it is their best friend while being blissfully unaware of the cracking down on our freedoms and liberties not just including the Copyright Directive. This is why I decided to recently make a video debunking the lies put out by those who support the European Union, including a particular Glaswegian comedienne called Janey Godley, and I reduced the size of it to help upload it faster. It worked well on Bitchute (link here: https://www.bitchute.com/video/DFS3TXCAhX1S/) but I cannot put it onto Brighteon.com as I need to gain at least 400 more views to earn the right to upload 50 more videos to their site (because of Mike Adams' recent new policy). I have somehow uploaded it to View.ly and 3 times including just before I have written this post I have tried to upload the video to DTube but each & every time I click 'submit', an error notification comes up. Please can someone fix the problem as soon as possible?
