The European Union's Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) passed a vote last month in favor of online copyright reform legislation known as the Copyright Directive. The approval came despite widespread criticism of the proposed changes: Opponents warned the new law could lead to higher costs through a "link tax" that would force aggregating sites to pay media companies before linking to their content, and widespread censorship via an "upload filter" that would scan all uploaded material—including memes—for copyright violations before it was posted.
