Preservation
gollark: No, I mean, it has stuff in it other than the filtering and link tax nonsense, and those bits are okay.
gollark: 1. The other bits of the copyright directive actually make sense.2. Serious newscasters now have to talk about memes.

gollark: That's good, or maybe bad.
gollark: Well, I don't live in America, but... probably. The companies there did already kind of do stuff like that anyway, I think.
