    EU authoritarians clamp down on Internet freedom'

    European parliamentarians have passed a controversial overhaul of copyright law that could force tech giants to install filters that prevent copyright-protected content from being uploaded.
    Lawmakers in Strasbourg, France, voted on Wednesday in favor of the European Union’s revamped directive, which is aimed at bringing the bloc’s rules on copyright into the 21st century.
    The copyright reform was passed with 438 votes in favor, 226 against and 39 abstentions.
