What... is it? Specifically in how it might impact fandom related activities?

From saveyourinternet.eu

"Article 13 is a provision in the proposed EU Copyright Directive mandating that all content uploaded to the internet be monitored and potentially deleted if a likeness to existing copyrighted content is detected. This provision will be voted on by the end of 2018.

If you are a creator or independent business, the content that you upload to share with your audience might be deleted without your consent. Creators include but are not limited to artists –such as cartoonists, gamers, illustrators, photographers, documentary filmmakers, animators, musicians, DJs, and dancers,– bloggers, journalists, and technologists.

Online platforms will be required to implement complex and expensive filtering systems and will be held liable for copyright infringement, potentially incurring fines that threaten their economic viability."

So basically (or theoretically?) fanart, fanfic, remixes, the reblogging of screenshots and gifs, etc, etc, would violate copyright law in the European Union.

"a likeness to existing copyrighted content"

So it doesn't even have to be actually copyrighted content, but any likeness to it can be used as grounds to delete anything? WOW.

The lack of outrage over this makes no sense, because it sounds like an absolute nightmare not just for fandom. It could easily be used as a censorship tool.
