#MEMEAct The #MEMEAct (short for Making Essentials More Expensive Act) is a satirical term often used online to criticize legislation—real or proposed—that could negatively affect internet freedom, content sharing, or meme culture. It's not a real act passed by Congress, but it's commonly invoked in discussions about copyright laws, such as:

The CASE Act (Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement Act)

Article 13/17 of the EU Copyright Directive

Proposed anti-piracy or digital copyright enforcement measures in the U.S.

People fear these kinds of laws might:

Restrict meme creation due to strict copyright rules

Lead to automated content takedowns

Penalize users for using copyrighted material in transformative ways (like memes)

Are you referring to a specific bill or just curious about the meme culture side of it?
