On January 18, the EU’s member state governments will decide whether to move forward the Copyright in the Single Digital Market Directive—a set of regulations that would likely crush many small European tech startups, create an even weaker bargaining position for working European artists, and expose half a billion Europeans to mass, unaccountable algorithmic censorship. But you can help stop it. Please write to the ministers responsible for Sweden's position, and urge them to vote against Article 13 and Article 11. Remember: supporters of the Directive claim that anyone who opposes it are 'bots' -- please customize your letter with who you are, and why you care about Article 13 and 11. Negotiators and representatives of Europe’s national governments have returned from months of closed door meetings without removing, or even improving, the notorious “link tax” and “censorship machine” rules, Articles 11 and 13, and we’ve now arrived at the moment of truth—if the Directive receives enough votes on the 18th, it may be impossible to stop.

But if people in member states speak out right now, they can protect the global Internet by convincing their Council representatives to vote no. The Directive has the same problems it’s had from the start: Article 11 would create a “link tax” by making platforms pay for linking to news sites where those links include more than a word or two from the story or its headline, essentially allowing newspapers to decide who can link to them—and at costs they decide. Small, independent press outlets could be blocked altogether from linking to established news sources -- even for the purposes of criticism and commentary — or they could be charged much more than their counterparts in the mainstream. Article 13 may be even worse. It would require online platforms to use algorithmic filters to unilaterally determine whether content anyone uploads, from social media posts to videos, infringes copyright, and would penalise companies that allow the content to stand. There would be no penalty for overblocking and censoring users—and as we’ve seen from previous attempts at online filtering, this would inevitably leading to censorship of massive proportions.

But it’s not too late: the European Council — made up of representatives from EU member states like Sweden — will vote on the Directive on January 18. Said buryatskij audio lekcii. Their decision will shape the future of the Internet, possibly for generations to come. Tell your government to strike a blow for fairness and against market concentration and censorship.

Don’t let the EU sell Big Tech a very cheap ticket to a guarantee of continued Internet dominance. Remember: supporters of the Directive claim that anyone who opposes it are 'bots' -- please customize your letter with who you are, and why you care about Article 13 and 11.

The NodeXL team at the is happy to announce the availability of the newest version: there is lots of new stuff in the latest release of v.1.0.1.167! • Group Frames: If your graph has groups and you choose to lay out the groups in their own boxes (NodeXL, Graph, Layout, Layout Options), you can now specify the width of the box outlines. • Constant Edges: When you select an edge, its width no longer changes.

Dec 21, 2011 - The Washington Post reported the full details of the regulation on Friday, the day EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson signed the regulation into.

NodeXL used to use the same width for all selected edges, even if the edges had varying widths when unselected. • Group and Vertex Display Harmony: • When a graph has groups, you now have more control over how the groups are shown. Go to NodeXL, Analysis, Groups, Group Options. • The NodeXL, Show/Hide, Graph Elements, Groups menu item has been replaced with a checkbox in the Group Options dialog box. • Right-Click Group Controls: Menu items for selecting, expanding, collapsing and removing groups are now available in the menu that appears when you right-click the graph pane.

(These are just shortcuts for the same menu items that are available in the Ribbon at NodeXL, Analysis, Groups.) • WYSIWYCC: What You See Is What You Can Click – • Hidden edges and vertices (those that have their Visibility cells set to Hide) can no longer be selected in the graph pane. • Edges and vertices that have been filtered (NodeXL, Analysis, Dynamic Filters) can no longer be selected in the graph pane. • Bigger Twitter Lists: When importing a Twitter list network (NodeXL, Import, From Twitter List Network), you can now enter up to 10,000 usernames.

The maximum used to be 500. • UCINET / Matrix Compatibility: Bug fix: When exporting the graph to a UCINET file (NodeXL, Data, Export, To UCINET Full Matrix DL File), isolated vertices didn’t get exported. When exporting the graph to a new matrix workbook (NodeXL, Data, Export, To New Matrix Workbook), isolated vertices didn’t get exported, when importing a graph from a matrix workbook (NodeXL, Data, Import, From Open Matrix Workbook), isolated vertices didn’t get imported. Now they do!
