> Any action taken by platforms to check that uploads do not breach copyright rules must be designed in such a way as to avoid catching “non-infringing works”.
Utterly hilarious and scary that they think that's possible.
- dcbadacd 8y agoIf you read it more carefully, it says "designed to avoid catching" not "must not catch".
- mjburgess 8y agoThe conditions under-which something is fair-use are not features of the content. So there is nothing a system can do.
- guitarbill 8y agoBecause you need to catch infringing works, while only "avoiding" to catch non-infringing works, the result of that phrasing means those filters will have a high false-positive rate. Like content ID strikes on white noise...
- tumetab1 8y agoThey don't think whether it's possible or not. They are outsourcing any outrage of this system to whoever needs to implement it.
