I wonder whether Article 13(2b) of the infamous EU copyright directive will change anything. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=TA&language=EN&reference=P8-TA-2018-0337 http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=TA&langua... It requires "effective and expeditious complaints and redress mechanisms" for users affected by unjustified removals, and complaints shall "be processed without undue delay and be subject to human review", and that "users shall have access to an independent body for the resolution of disputes as well as to a court or another relevant judicial authority to assert the use of an exception or limitation to copyright rules". It might, or maybe YouTube's current mechanism already satisfies the above, don't know.

Just to be clear, what you linked to is the European Parliament's proposal for the law. Compromise negotiations are currently ongoing with the Council (representing the member state governments), which in its own proposal does not ask for human review or an independent dispute resolution body. At this point it's unclear what the final law will say. https://juliareda.eu/2018/10/copyright-trilogue-positions/ https://juliareda.eu/2018/10/copyright-trilogue-positions/ No matter what the safeguards end up being though, Article 13 is likely to make the problem worse overall because it will force all other platforms that host a lot of user posts/uploads (all content types, including text and photos) to also implement automated copyright systems, which are likely to be even shoddier than YouTube's.
