2020 FransWeek Day5

The internet could change next week, and not in a good way

You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression. 

We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report. 

The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment. Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now. 

If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu. 

Tumblr needs more of this….whatever this is.

No cost too great

———-

This is when I’m hyped up and motivated about something and I aim to just get the idea out and not… focus on the quality that much so my apologies if some pages look like less quality.

This is just my own personal take on how the Pure Vessel lost their arm (or rather why). I have originally planned for this to have Pale King’s inner dialog but I feel like no text stays true to his seemingly stoic nature. (we all know that’s not the case otherwise wouldn’t have gems like path of pain…..)

I would like to mention that THIS ART AND THE COMIC THAT FOLLOWS IT UP were one of the many Hollow Knight comic inspirations that lead me to draw this, as well as @occasionally-pale-king interpretation (tho my art doesn’t really show it) and design for the Pale King so thank you very much for it~

Keep being an awesome, inspiring and especially fun community through upcoming Silksong too~

Important

I have reason to believe that someone is going around into other people’s accounts and sending them messages on IM with fake links. 

This happened to me just now. I thought it was suspicious after seeing the tinyurl link, but I clicked it anyway and it brought me here:

Whatever you do, DO NOT LOG IN. Take a closer look at the URL at the top.

This is a scam. It’s a website made to look like tumblr’s home page, and it will steal your information and hack you right out of your account.

My guess is that this has already happened to tumblr user @turntableking and their account is being used to drag more people in.

Please be careful!

Tried to make a comic without sketching. Obviously don’t eat paint!
