Article 13, aka “the meme ban”, greatly increases the liability involved with hosting user-uploaded content. Websites are expected to implement filtering software to check uploads against copyright databases. Access to the technology is expensive, however and sites like Newgrounds can’t afford it.

As a result, we are now blocking all content on the site until we confirm that a user is not visiting from the European Union. You’ll have to complete the verification process the first time you try to view content here, or you can do it right now.

A cookie will be set in your browser so that you only have to do it once. We've made sure to warn everyone that Newgrounds uses cookies. The EU does such a great job protecting their citizens from the real dangers in the world!

For everyone not in the EU, sorry for the inconvenience! If you are visiting from the EU, sorry you can no longer enjoy all the cool content on Newgrounds. Keep this in mind next time it’s your turn to vote!

NOTE: If you move, you can re-take the validation process as needed.

Hello, I am in the European Union but I do not want censorship. can someone help me if they please?

It's interesting how the UK pivoted from daily topless pics in their most popular newspaper to trying to eradicate porn. What happened over the past five years there?

Just try the most violent and/or patriotic alternatives. ;)

Personally: entertained, though wouldn't have minded some options making fun of the other side too. As usual America somehow always ends up coming across as the cooler alternative. Ah well. It's HQ land. With that inevitable at least always partially patriotic mindset. Angle acceptable.
