Only large media companies would be able to pay the taxes. Small ones would be bankrupted. I wouldn’t be able to publish links to news articles on this blog without paying the tax. And the EU parliament is due to vote this into law in 30 days time. I’m not surprised that the EU is doing this. The EU is all about top down control of absolutely everything. It never does anything else but introduce more and more crippling and obstructing and hampering legislation.

Holy #. Reading the comments on that article you linked to, I came across this: "Most people are saying the only solution is moving to Tor, being a Tor host and using the dark web. And/or moving to the United States. The first and second amendments are literally the only thing keeping the world from falling into the end times at this point."
I really never thought I’d see the day, people from Europe would be talking about wanting to move to the US, but I think they are right.

Hey the eu is all about free speech!
Just ask the UK!
I mean yeah, they will jail people for reporting on child rape cases, then gag the media for reprting on that arrest, and arrest people for having dogs make gestures or quoting rap lyrics.
But as long as you only say government approved speech, you can say whatever you want!
So being forced to pay for media articles is such super better more free speech!
Troubling times ahead - do we all need move to the US?

Forgive my ignorance, but does this have anything to do with "net neutrality"?

It isn't going to stop with the EU.
WE may have freedom of speech here in America, that doesn't mean that they can't charge us to use the privilege.

Is there no anti-government leader amongst the population of the European Union?
The last thing you want to do is move away. Your top priority should be to fight the individuals who are attempting to screw you over. The PEOPLE have the REAL POWER.

Some might laugh at what you said, but if Hillary was elected I can guarantee you we would have MANY Tommy Robinsons being Black Bagged in America!
If we don't fight for our Constitution and our Freedoms, people we half ass elect will be glad to take them away from us. Once we allow that to happen, how do we get them back???????
