So who is benefiting from this article 13? The copyright holders.

Not the people, not the startups, not the EU companies.

There are things to be said about GDPR and climate, but not so much about article 13. It's just retarded and insane. These people have totally no clue.

"You can talk at a distance instantly today, it should be easy to transport people instantly."

"They can modify human DNA today, so curing cancer should be easy"

I think eikxyz was only arguing in favour of the GDPR, not article 13, which is indeed obviously retarded and insane.

this is the standard of current debate: "people are more important than ...". Well done! Well done! I guess that does give carte blanch to any and all regulations that can be said to be "for the people", so all of them. Wow, nobody though about this before, really good. You are a master philospher, Sir! Pay no mind though to the people who had arranged themselves in mutually beneficial relations that these regulations hinder or destroy because they are not real people. Only those persons who need their PII "protected" (not from the state of course) are really real anyway.

Idiots like this fool are also running the EU, my god was the internet a great place before his ilk got here.

You're contradicting yourself.

> pro-climate policies are never intended to be good for the economy

> without climate, there is no economy, people, or startups

The thing to do here is to read everything this person has said and to take in the bigger picture of what they are trying to say. Focusing on the details like this is doing yourself a disservice, because it makes it look like you don't have the skills they taught you in school.

I think eikxyz means that pro-climate policies are not designed to allow quick profits; they will actually constrain some actors in the economy. They also may help to ensure the survival of the economy itself, so that at least some economic actors can still function.

That some benefits will naturally occur as a side effect of a policy does not actually change the intention of that policy.
