Even though the German CDU and SPD both agreed in their coalition agreement that there would be no upload filters this promise is now to be broken, but instead of admitting mistakes and owning the demonstrations they are now blaming the USA.

The official CDU/CSU-account tweets: “When American corporations with massive use of disinformation and paid protesters attempt to block bills our democracy is under threat.”

According to some sources 10.000s up to over 100.000 people took to the streets today to march against the CDU’s proposed upload filters and further censorship of the internet.

Massive demonstrations with thousands of participants can be seen across almost all major German cities including Berlin, Hamburg and Munich.

Nonetheless EU politician Daniel Caspary of the CDU/CSU believes this grassroots movement, which has continuously been defamed by them as bots is to have been paid up to 450 euros per person by American NGOs.

Axel Voss the CDU/CSU man pushing for Article13 in the European Parliament also blames U.S. companies like Google, YouTube and Facebook for spreading false information to further their goals.

Demonstrations in Switzerland and Austria, which took place simultaneously have not been attacked yet in the same way.
