CETA Signed Off As Wallonia Folds Under Pressure (freezenet.ca)
Dangerous_Minds writes: The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) has been signed off. The government of Wallonia appeared to be holding off on the agreement, but has since folded under the pressure. Two days after Wallonia agreed to the trade deal, countries signed off on the agreement. The agreement contains provisions surrounding a three strikes law, a global DMCA, site blocking, and the hugely controversial ISDS provisions to name a few. The deal still needs to be ratified for these laws to take effect.
It's a place that will magically exist on that distant day when someone invents a way for you to look things up you've never heard of - let's call it an "information-seeking motor" - and teaches you to use it.
They built a Wallonia, and will make us all pay for it.
And wtf is wallonia..?
It's the post-independence name of South Elbonia.
Actually, it is a place filled with waffling Belgians.
