I don't live in Europe or follow European news, so I don't know what's going on. I've been hoping that it would turn out to be an absolutely disaster to the degree that it couldn't be ignored by politicians and would have to be revoked.

I don't have better links handy because it was passed several months ago and I thought it was common knowledge. I'm curious as to what the effects have been so far.

The recent sadpanda hentai site was likely closed because of it.

Yeah, I heard about that. But that was the first site I'd heard of where someone suggested that.

Countries have to change their laws to be in line with the directive, for the directive to effect people. As far as I'm aware no country has done so. They have until 2021 to do so.
