Wouldn't you know, it's the EU again. The Copyright Directive, a piece of legislation intended to modernise copyright law, is appearing in front of the European Parliament on June 20th. Article 13 of this document states that platform providers should "take measures to ensure the functioning of agreements concluded with rights-holders for the use of their works".
People think this will result in Youtube style automated sweeping of the internet for anything that might be copyrighted, and deleting it. I don't know how viable that is, but placing a duty on internet providers to police copyright at the least presupposes mass monitoring of all content on the internet regardless of what's actually posted. I can't see any ways this could possibly go wrong or be misused.
One unintended consequence of this might be that memes become contraband in the new internet. But I suppose we'll all be too busy paying through the nose for a decent internet speed to be able to download any memes in the high tech future.
