Which stages of spiral dynamics do the new EU copyright proporsals belong to?

I briefly read https://gizmodo.com/wikipedia-italy-blocks-all-articles-in-protest-of-eus-r-1827312550 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_on_Copyright_in_the_Digital_Single_Market

It says

Quote

Among the issues raised by the bill is a vague requirement in Article 13 that requires popular websites—estimated to encompass the top 20 percent of sites—to utilize a content filtering system that prevents copyrighted works from ever being posted to the platform. The other key issue is Article 11, also known as the “link tax.” In an effort to push readers back to the homepages of news organizations, lawmakers want to charge websites fees for linking to news and using snippets of text from articles. Both articles have broad implications for upending the way the internet functions as we know it today, but activists have warned from the beginning that online encyclopedias that rely on fair use practices would have their very existence threatened.

Quote

On July 5, 2018, The Plenary of the European Parliament will vote whether to proceed with a copyright directive proposal which, if approved, will significantly harm the openness of the Internet.

The directive instead of updating the copyright laws in Europe and promoting the participation of all the citizens to the society of information, threatens online freedom and creates obstacles to accessing the Web, imposing new barriers, filters and restrictions. If the proposal would be approved in its current form, it could be impossible to share a news article on social networks, or find it through a search engine; Wikipedia itself would be at risk.

Short Summary : Chimpanzees stealing bananas from other poorer chimpanzees? Chimpanzees climbing up social dominance hierarchy? Humans trying to play with variables of others' lives?

I can sense a strong smell of the psychopathic Red. I suspect psychopaths captured the regulatory structure of EU. Or, is it blue? That doesn't smell like Orange which would want to promote technological advances through cheap access to information on the internet.

Curious how you could assign a color to proposal, are you trying to determine from what color the people that proposed this were coming from - obviously it's going to be a mix, and how would it help in any way? We don't need a color system to understand this is plainly a bad idea.

My inner human tells me that it's a terrible idea. I am just curious how spiral dynamics fit into this.
