This affects how content is shared online. Period. This is censorship. If this is implemented it opens the door to the government deciding what you can share and when.
“Web services large and small might decide to implement the directive globally, which would diminish American users’ capacity to share memes, political satire, or news articlesonline.” (Meaning due to the European law, websites might just change how they operate world wide, so the rules placed on them they will probabaly inforce in countries who don’t have the law)
If this could affect Americans in this way, imagine how heavy handed it will be on those who actually live in Europe??

My heart and condolences go out to Stephen Hillenburg, who passed Monday at age 57 due to ALS complications, and his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
