• Let’s stop the Censorship Machine!

  We have launched a series of tweets asking for Members of the European Parliament, in their own language, to delete Article 13 in the proposed Copyright Directive. The aim is to support national EDRi members raise awareness about the topic and put more pressure on the MEPs with a Twitter presence. Help us spread the tweets in different languages and stop the #CensorshipMachine!
