Directive

Copyright in the Digital Single Market

Article 13 aka Article 17 aka Upload Filter
This directive for copyright reform passed despite widespread protest from both experts and the public. Its most controversial sections were Article 13/17 (the 'upload filter') and Article 11/15 (the 'link tax'), which will likely lead to unfair pre-emptive blocking, and a stifling of online culture, due to automated content ID systems without human oversight.
