Article 13 gets legalized because Sweden pushed the wrong voting button

Article 13 will wreck the internet because Swedish MEPs accidentally pushed the wrong voting button

In the EU, if a Member of the Parliament presses the wrong button on a vote, they can have the record amended to show what their true intention was, but the vote is binding. Today, the European Parliament voted to pass the whole Copyright Directive without a debate on Articles 11 and 13 by a margin of five votes. But actually, a group of Swedish MEPs have revealed that they pressed the wrong button, and have asked to have the record corrected.
