Your New Years Resolution: Tell The EU Not To Undermine The Foundations Of The Internet
0
However, the survey's website now lists January 6th as the final date for submissions, which means that, without any public announcement whatsoever, they've extended the submission period by a week. So, for those of you who have not done it yet, you now have a New Year's resolution: go to our guide at Dontwreckthe.net, and follow along as you fill out the survey.
Yes, the survey is horrible and confusing. But this is really important, because regulations that come out of this could be a huge mess for the future of the internet. Also, we've heard from two separate sources (one on the Commission and one in the EU Parliament) that if you fill out the survey and then use the reference number provided to you to email in further thoughts (via a "position paper") the Commission is required to read it. So, yes, even if some of the questions are nonsensical, you have a chance after-the-fact to explain yourself (and we'd recommend doing that as well).
So, yes, it's boring and seems silly, but we urge you to find some time in the next few days and tell the EU Commission not to mess up the internet.
