Last [Friday’s shootings in Christchurch](https://www.oye.news/news/shootings/breaking-man-opens-fire-on-a-tram-in-the-dutch-city-of-utrecht/), New Zealand which ended with 50 dead and just as many injured have rung the global bell on a call for tougher media censorship. Yesterday an open letter from Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, who is the head of Counter-Terrorism Policing in the UK was published on the counter-terrorism website. Basu’s letter is a plea for the UK Government to recognise the threat that the free flow of information can have on a nation and to do something about it. Basu points out the ironic fact that *“the same media companies who have lambasted social media platforms for not acting fast enough to remove extremist content are simultaneously publishing uncensored Daesh propaganda on their websites, or make the rambling ‘manifestos’ of crazed killers available for download.”* He said extremist propaganda that might reach tens of thousands of people through their own channels or networks has the potential to reach tens of millions if a national newspaper published it. He goes onto say in summary that: > ‘Society needs to look carefully at itself. We cannot simply hide behind the mantra of freedom of speech. That freedom is not an absolute right, it is not the freedom to cause harm – that is why our hate speech legislation exists.’ [source](https://www.counterterrorism.police.uk/acso-neil-basu-issues-open-letter-about-reporting-of-terrorism/) Basu continually refers to this dangerous information that the UK’s media is publishing as Terrorist propaganda, which he claims inspires other potential terrorists into action, he bases this assessment from the statements of terrorists his team have interviewed over the years. I think it is undeniable that information can be dangerous, it can reinforce beliefs and prejudices, it can raise one’s emotions causing anger and fear. This is true whether the information is accurate or not. Information which has been designed to produce a specific public emotional response, propaganda, is even more dangerous – But, it’s not the root of the problem, it merely accelerates an exceptionally small minority of people to do what they were inevitably going to do anyway. Censoring our media is a far more dangerous path to take, with dire consequences. A government which controls its media and dictates the flow of information is a Government who has a self-perpetuating power and thus unbreakable control over its people. While we have been condemning dictatorships across the World for decades with the oppression they place upon their people through censorship and their own propaganda we are voluntarily begging for it ourselves, a little bit at a time. ______________________ Read this article in its original format and thousands more over on our [WEBSITE](https://www.oye.news/news/freedoms/censorship/christchurch-shootings-inspire-global-censorship/)

The European Parliament has just voted in favour to pass the new EU Copyright Directive, Article 13. The new directive will bring in sweeping reforms to how copyrighted content posted online is governed. Some say this directive is the end of the Internet as we know it as just about anything you share could be in breach of the new EU law. YouTube has been actively calling attention to this new law over the past few months to try and have the proposal shutdown, but unfortunately their efforts failed. **SO WHAT EXACTLY IS ARTICLE 13?** Under the law, internet platforms will be liable for content that users upload, a burden that will fall heavily on some of the most popular online services. “YouTube, Facebook and Google News are some of the internet household names that will be most directly affected by this legislation,” the European Parliament said in a statement. The argument for the new EU Copyright Directive is to protect content creators hard work from being unfairly copied and shared, however in reality what we will see is a lot of filtered content all across the internet. It will create mass confusion on what exactly comes under this new legislation and what doesn’t causing many to just play safe and avoid sharing potentially important information. **MEME KILLER** This could be the end of meme sharing across social media since just about all memes are created using someone else’s content. If your wondering how this type of legislation will be policed think blanket banning all content with any potential copyright infringement, plus all content which is shared by that user from there after. Because companies like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram will be liable for Copyright infringement they will take no chances and simply have to be ruthless to survive. Say goodbye to parody, say goodbye to independent journalists referring to current news events using video, imagery, or audio. This will create one hell of a mess for just about everyone who uses the internet. This is why nations like the United Kingdom voted to leave this authoritarian regime, this stepping stone to a one world order. ______________________ Please check out the full article over on our website at [OYE NEWS](https://www.oye.news/news/government/the-eu-passes-article-13-its-about-to-get-messy/)

This [new research study](https://www.rcrclinical.com/clinical-trial/small-pox-vaccine/) will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine to protect against Smallpox. The study will last approximately up to 39 weeks. The World Health Organization officially declared small pox eradicated in 1980, however, this new study is motivated by the threat of a small pox outbreak via bioterrorism and the risk of natural re-emergence of the virus. [Potential participants](https://www.rcrclinical.com/clinical-trial/small-pox-vaccine/) must: - Be 18-45 years old - Not have a history of pox-virus based vaccine (This would exclude US military service prior to 1991 or after January 2003) - Not taking any immune modifying drugs - Not allergic to eggs - Those lucky enough to be selected for this study will be awarded with $475. So, i’m sure people will be lining up at the door for this one! [](https://youtu.be/-RXrGLolgEc)
