A number of criticisms have been levelled at the Copyright Directive. These include the criticisms that it will:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">severely undermine the free expression of Internet users who risk having user-generated content they attempt to post blocked from publication by companies wary of running afoul of new copyright laws;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">Add to the regulatory confusion on what is lawful and what is not. The Directive is not itself law but a framework that forms the basis on which Member States need to draft their own laws;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666699;\">force online services to install automated copyright filters that will over-block legitimate material, including memes and remixes by virtue of the much-maligned Article 13.

Article 11 is designed to protect news publishers by preventing aggregators from using snippets of online content without paying a licensing fee. However, critics say it will force companies like Google to pay for links that it has used for free for years. The move would also make it harder for new entrants to compete with established platforms. The SaveYourInternet campaign has claimed that Article 11 will &#8220;destroy the Internet as we know it and lead to a more fragmented, less diverse online world.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Critics <span data-offset-key=\"8hsm4-35-0\">have warned that if the legislation goes ahead, it will encourage repressive regimes like China and Russia to demand similar laws in an attempt to control content on their own national versions of Facebook and Google.

When these companies automate their decision-making process and have to draw the line on errors that such systems may make from time to time, they will inevitably choose to err on the side of caution. The inevitable upshot is that Internet users will experience more obstacles in posting and accessing online content than has ever been the case hitherto.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div
