The EU wants to kill Benzaie and Larry

I can tell you don't live in the EU. You're greatly overestimating their competency. Making stupid laws is their speciality but actually enforcing them is something they usually fail at.
But sure, I welcome all bad things. Hell, I want everything to get much, much worse. I want the EU to make themselves the clear villain.

You don't seem to realize that, in the case of Article 11 and 13, tech companies will happily do the politicians' bidding, because they have the same end goal.

Hm, that's a good point. I guess we'll find out.

Oh, and regarding VPNs, it's all fine and dandy... until these lawmakers finally decide to make them illegal (because they'll be used to circumvent and disguise traffic from torrent sites, mostly), using the tried and tested argument that only pedophiles and criminals (because deep down (((they))) don't think pedophilia is a crime) use VPNs. Normalfags, not understanding what VPNs are or how stupid is the idea that law enforcement doesn't regularly catch stupid pedos trusting the "no log policy VPNs", will just say "meh" because their Facebook normalfag posting won't be affected.

Too bad the big business pretty much need VPNs if they want to hang around in China (for as little good as it does over there).
