I was asking you why. As a search engine developer, I'm very aware that the EU is trying to put me out of business before I start.

Thus, this is one of those times where the lawmakers actually looked at technology, and understood how it was used. Also, making search engines responsible creates a far smaller surface area of contact than having every site that contains the content.
