right now the EU is talking about passing what we call Article 13, a monstruosity that's basically the opposite of your Section 230. In the attempt of reforming copyright laws (which must be incredibly hard even if you are well versed in those and technology) they want to make companies liable, at the moment of the upload, for any copyright infringements in the uploads.
Tim Berners-Lee and Vint Cerf sent a letter to EU in summer, some EU MPs are furious at the state of things, companies like YouTube are in crisis mode.
The are still a few chances to block in the next few months but the gist of the law is bonkers, as it was passed by a vast majority (twice the people that voted no, voted yes)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Wow, that's amazing and kind of terrifying. Thanks for the explanation!
