Standing against the EU Article 13. #saveyourinternet

@Background Pony #5E4C  
Personally, I believe that if the March 23rd protests are strong enough, we should easily surpass the opposition.

@CaptainXtra  
yep, and with the shutdown on the 21th, we will get even stronger

@CaptainXtra  
Okay

Even if Article 13 gets defeated, how long will it be until they try to pass something worse?

@some-guy  
Honestly  
I don’t know

@some-guy  
I’ve been talking with tons of people at STOPACTA2 into starting some sort of grassroots movement across the world that would result in a universal safeguard law for the internet which would make it impossible for laws like SOPA and Article 13 to exist again.

@CaptainXtra  
Interesting  
Do you think we have a chance even with the intensifying rhetoric on both sides?

@Background Pony #5E4C  
Hmm, our Blackout is on the 21st and the Street Protests are on the 23rd.
 
If both of those go well I’m pretty hopeful we’ll win.

@CaptainXtra  
A-Okay! ;)

Now this is worrying:

@CaptainXtra  
They’re trying to copy us  
But we shall prove them wrong

@Background Pony #5E4C  
I think it’s official  
We’re gonna lose  
There is no hope left  
Only doom and gloom

@Background Pony #5E4C  
Actually I think this manifesto has been around for some time.
 
It seems to have been stuck at 77 for awhile.

@CaptainXtra  
For weeks ya mean?  
And the 77 are the initial signatures

@Background Pony #5E4C  
That means 77 are likely to vote for while others may not

We need get people from the CDU and EPP to guarantee our Victory and the opposition losing support.

@CaptainXtra  
3 Luxembourg EPP members have been confirmed to vote against ive heard

@Background Pony #99FF  
So that my week is ruined  
I’m going to be optimistic

We’ve got the UN, Anonymous Germany, many copyright holders and the citizens on our side. IF, they still try to want that law, then things will get ugly for them;-)

@Tirek  
Oh ho ho

@Background Pony #5E4C  
The Parliament magazine has reported a death threat was made against Voss last week. While he isn’t a very good politician, This is completely unacceptable

@Background Pony #5E4C
 
I believe that was proven to be false, as per our CaptainXtra said previously. Nobody here have ever said something like that or in any form condones violence. Lets stay on topic here.

@silbasa  
Sorry  
But threats like this one have ended up false

@Background Pony #5E4C  
Threat are very bad false or not

The Pro-Article 13 manifesto got another signature.
 
While our pledge bumped up to 115.
 
We’re still ahead in that contest.
