EU article 11 and 13 copyright law
The EU parliament voted yes for this proposal on 20th June, the last chance is for it to go up to plenary session.

The EUs extremely controversial Copyright Reform which might introduce upload filters, ancillary copyright, and restrictions on text and data mining will finally go to a vote on June 20.

On June 20th, a committee of the European Parliament will vote on whether to proceed on a copyright proposal that some say will destroy the internet as we know it. That may sound fairly hyperbolic, but over 70 experts including World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales have criticized the proposal, saying it will turn the internet into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users.

The European Union (EU) is pressing ahead with efforts to ban online memes under new digital copyright laws, with the controversial rules Article 11 and Article 13 now having successfully passed through an EU committee.
In what might be the first justifiable reason to actually support Brexit, the EUs JURI commission voted in favour of the Copyright Directive on June 20. This means they will now be put forward to the European Parliament with a view to being passed into law.

The EU is one step closer to banning memes and 'destroying the internet'
Quote:
The European Parliament Committee on Legal Affairs just voted yes on highly controversial parts of the EUs new Copyright Reform. The controversial articles 11 and 13 effectively establish link tax, censorship machines, and ban memes.
There was heavy resistance to the contested articles from internet activists, lobbyists, and members of European Parliament (MEPs), but all was for nought and the articles passed with a 13:12 and 15:10 majority.
