RE: Article 13: A great day for decentralization and Steem?

in #steem5 years ago

Unfortunately, all three requirements have to apply for the exemption. So if a platform is older than three years they have to seek license agreements with the content industry and install filters to prevent the upload of not approved content. This is ridiculous and will harm many small companies within the EU because they won't be able to afford installing these expensive filters.

Sort:  

this is something that throws in another issue though...

The only way a site that hosts user-generated content can avoid putting in place a upload filter is if it fulfils all three of the following criteria:

Who is hosting? The blockchain stores links to content.

Sue the host. Sue the blockchain :D

yes, indeed, that makes it even more complicated, the blockchain stores the text and links to content, so technically the frontends would need to implement said upload filters if they were located within the EU.
