HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE??

So, all European (EU) friends:

(If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.
From this Tumblr post <- obviously the internet won't DISAPPEAR. However, it could be the very slow start...)

More info:

Why You Need to act NOW! To save the internet.

I hate 2018. There's never a 'Surely it's not that bad' option. :( I mean, maybe everything will be fine, but WHAT IF?

(As an EU citizen living in the UK, my rights are already questionable.)

And they say basically the same as the links above: Contact your MEP! Make your voice heard!

Thank you.

And yeah, doing something is definitely the way to go. Like, people dismiss all the worries about the Y2K bugs and issues, because everything was FINE, but the reason it was fine was because a lot of people worked very hard to make it so...
