On 26 March the members of the European Parliament, have adopted the Copyright Directive on the Internet, in a vote in plenary with 348 votes in favor, 274 against and 36 abstentions.
ΑThis decision, as expected, provoked strong reactions throughout the Internet community, and the first countermeasures from pages based in countries outside the European Union slowly began to appear.
One of the most serious forms of reaction is to block access to the content of the pages when a citizen of Europe (EU) tries to visit some pages outside the European Union.
A typical example is the magazine Indiatimes, where he has activated Region Lock on his page, blocking access when someone has an address (IP) from Europe (EU).
The only way now for someone to be able to access the content of these pages again is through VPN, ie to get an IP from another country that does not belong to a country - member of the European Union.
In short, a "war" has begun against this decision taken by the European Parliament, and surely this kind of reaction will gradually spread to many other pages that until a few days ago were accessible to all of us.
Eventually, from what appears to be the Internet as a space for the free flow of ideas and information, it is gradually turning into a Zone of controlled information, and this can be perceived as anything but a positive development.
