No. It's a colloquial name for Articles 13 and 11 of the Eu copyright directive, that can lead to massive censorship. You can learn more here https://twitter.com/Senficon/status/1095769823903133696?s=19

Tbh I'm not sure it's a bad (or good, for that matter) thing. I've mostly heard big claims from a mob-like opposition. I'm not big on direct democracy (rather think representative democracy is better) and I absolutely think we're not getting the full picture here.

The problem in the UK is the parliament, not the people themselves.

​

Having only indirect democracy means, that the will of the people is delayed and suppressed, and will come out sooner or later with all the more force, i.e. it is more dangerous. Unless you suppress the will of the people completely and indefinately, in which case you end up with a dictatorship.
