The directive has received plenty of criticism, with most of it aimed at Article 13, which would force online platforms to monitor content that is uploaded and filter out copyrighted material. This has been proposed to help content creators that frequently see their work stolen, copied and altered online.

More than five million European citizens have signed a petition against the proposal, which is the largest in European history.
The vote will take place at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, starting at 9pm CET (8am London time).
