To be clear, I don't have an opinion on these issues yet. I respect commercial interests of content producers. For me, making everything free for all just because it's technically feasible/trivial isn't a solution and will just result in pushing more power to platforms.
OTOH, I believe the material issue with news scraping could be very easily and practically solved by
- using RSS or other syndication format rather than full-page scraping, or using HTML metadata to limit what search engines may display
- using HTML metadata, deep linking/embedding or giving credit (like is done for photo credits) for citing larger excerpts
My gut reaction to implementing user content scanning, or any other technical details is that something like that has no place in this law. But maybe I'm misunderstanding the intent of the law, in that it's a lesser evil compared to making platforms liable for damages by uploaded "copyrighted" user content.
