There's been a major setback for the internet. The European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee (25 MEPs) voted in favour for Article 11 "link tax" and Article 13 "censorship machine" of the EU Copyright Directive. Furthermore, the committee voted against nearly all measures that would attempt to grant more rights to users such as commonsense limitations and user-generated content.

However, the fight is not over yet. Some other steps must be taken before the Directive can be fully adopted. Further negotiations have to happen, and there's a chance that the debate will occur in a larger forum and for the proposal to be changed. The next vote related to this is apparently likely to happen on 2018.07.04(Wed).

インターネットにとっての大きな失敗がありました. 欧州連合議会の法務委員会 (欧州議員25人) は欧州連合の著作権指令の条項11 "リンク税" および条項13 "検閲マシン" の法案に賛成票を投じました. その上, 利用者にある程度の権限を与えるためのほぼ全ての措置法, 例えば常識的制限と利用者生成コンテンツなど, に反対票を投じました.

とはいえ, 戦いはまだ終わっていません. 指令が採択されるまでいくつかの段階があります. 更なる交渉が必要で, より多くの人の含まれる場で議論が行なわれて法案が訂正される可能性はまだ残っています. これらに関連する次の投票は2018.07.04(水)に行なわれる可能性が相当あるとのことです.

Thanks for linking further info.
However, hashtags in comments have no effect on the visibility of the post/thread.

Thanks for the tip :-)
I found out that comments themselves appear to have no effect on post visibility.

It seems that, for now, the EU is safe from the controversial copyright reform. However, the Directive will be open to amendments and voting again, likely to be at the next session on 2018.09.13.

論争を引き起こしている著作権法改正の影響から欧州連合は一応安全だそうです. しかし, 2018.09.13 に開催予定の次回の会議に修正や投票が行なわれる見通しです.

Yes, that seems to be always the question.

With bitter irony, several articles and campaign sites that criticise EU copyright reforms were censored from the Google search engine. This is just the start of new attacks on freedom of expression in the name of enforcing copyright.

The EU Copyright Directive reforms currently being considered, such as Article 11's "link tax" and Article 13's "censorship machine", freedom of expression and democracy will take more hits. On 2018.09.12(Wed), the EU Parliament will vote one more time on whether to force internet platforms to install upload filters.

If you will be in the EU on 2018.08.26(Sun), join the Europe-wide protests!

辛辣な皮肉に, 欧州連合の著作権法改正を批判する複数の記事やキャンペーンサイトが Google 検索エンジンに検閲されました. これは著作権法執行という名の下での表現の自由と民主主義に対する新たな攻撃の始まりです.

条項11の "リンク税" や条項13の "検閲マシン" を含む欧州連合の著作権指令改正は検討中で, 表現の自由と民主主義を更に危うくしてしまいます. インターネットプラットフォームにアップロードのフィルタをかけさせるかについて2018.09.12(水)に欧州連合の議会で再び投票します.

欧州連合の各地で抗議が2018.08.26(日)に開催されますので, 当時にヨーロッパにいる人は是非参加してください!
