<br>
Men det har faktiskt ingenting att g=C3=B6ra med EU-GDPR, men med &quot;EU-=
Copyright directive&quot;.<br>
<br>
Let me switch to english where i can articulate myself better :)<br>
<br>
In 2019 the EC/parliament passed a new directive &quot;on copyright and rel=
ated rights in<br>
the Digital Single Market&quot;. (link: <a href=3D"http://data.europa.eu/el=
i/dir/2019/790/oj" rel=3D"noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">http://data.europa.=
eu/eli/dir/2019/790/oj</a>)<br>
<br>
The most relevant part is Article 17. I may quote<br>
<br>
&quot;<span class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"font-family:verdana,sans-serif=
;font-size:small"></span>An online content-sharing service provider shall t=
herefore obtain an authorisation from the rightholders referred to in<br>
Article 3(1) and (2) of Directive 2001/29/EC, for instance by concluding a =
licensing agreement, in order to communicate<br>
to the public or make available to the public works or other subject matter=
.&quot;<br>
<br>
&quot;If no authorisation is granted, online content-sharing service provid=
ers shall be liable for unauthorised acts of<br>
communication to the public, including making available to the public, of c=
opyright-protected works and other subject<br>
matter, unless the service providers demonstrate that they have:<br>
(a) made best efforts to obtain an authorisation, and<br>
(b) made, in accordance with high industry standards of professional dilige=
nce, best efforts to ensure the unavailability<br>
of specific works and other subject matter for which the rightholders have =
provided the service providers with the<br>
relevant and necessary information; and in any event<br>
(c) acted expeditiously, upon receiving a sufficiently substantiated notice=
 from the rightholders, to disable access to, or<br>
to remove from their websites, the notified works or other subject matter, =
and made best efforts to prevent their<br>
future uploads in accordance with point (b).&quot;<br>
<br>
<br>
This means that you need to obtain a licence for every copyright protected<=
br>
text/image/video/whatever that is posted on your side. You need to negotiat=
e the<br>
licence *before* uploading the copyrighted material. If you cannot obtain a=
 licence,<br>
then you as the operator of the platform must ensure that no material whats=
oever,<br>
that violates valid copyright, is posted on your side. To do this you must =
have<br>
automatic content detection (&quot;content filters&quot;) and/or must have =
a procedure where<br>
any arbitrary person may flag some content as copyright protected so that y=
ou can<br>
remove this content in a timely manner, and prevent this content from being=
 uploaded<br>
again (hello again content filters).<br>
<br>
This is basically impossible unless you are a very large company who can sp=
end<br>
millions on automated content filters and staff to review posts.<br>
If you would strictly adhere to the regulation, each new post after the reg=
ulation<br>
came into effect should have been hold for moderation and be manually check=
ed for<br>
copyright violations, as no automatic content filter can distinguish betwee=
n fair use<br>
policies for eg satire and actual violation of copyright. Furthermore, all =
posts<br>
submitted to your website prior to the regulation becoming active should al=
so be<br>
reviewed, as you are also responsible for posts in the past. <br>
<br>
Many experts have stated that the directive in this current form destroys a=
ll hobby<br>
projects and means a deep cut into freedom of speech, as automated content =
filters<br>
need to be set very strictly and thus there will be lots of false positives=
 (fair use<br>
policy for satire/art etc). On huge platforms, you cannot review all posts =
blocked<br>
from the automatic content filter, so you rather block more and prohibit fr=
eedom of<br>
speech, where there is no fine, then block less and risk fines for violatin=
g<br>
copyright. <br>
<br>
Sadly, the german politician and member of the EP Axel Voss, who was the dr=
iving<br>
force behind the directive, did not care at all what the experts sad, and c=
ommented<br>
on the huge protests and demonstrations we had in germany that &quot;they a=
re just some<br>
teens who were fed some wrong narrative from big companies who dont want to=
 be held<br>
accountable&quot;. <br>
Believe me, I am really not proud of our exports to the EP.<br>
<br>
This directive was passed in 2019, and came into effect as national law 2 y=
ears<br>
later, whereas each member of the EU had to draft their own law. So the act=
ual<br>
swedish implementation might be a little different from the implementation =
in other<br>
EU contries, which is why i leave it as a task for the reader to look up th=
eir actual<br>
binding version of this directive and figure out what is allowed and what i=
t not in<br>
their country :)<br>
