  > "This will kill the internet" In a small way, it kind of did, didn't it? I see people on reddit and hackernews constantly complaining how they can't access some random local news website in the US because they've chosen to simply not deal with GDPR.

  The law doesn't block fair use, but the only way for content platforms to be compliant is rampant overfiltering which will kill fair use.

    >rampant overfiltering which will kill fair use True! However, according to the draft of the Article 13, this may happen in the case of providers "of an information society service whose main or one of the main purposes is to store and give the public access to a large amount of copyright protected works or other protected subject-matter uploaded by its users which it organises and promotes for profit-making purposes." [1] This is not an argument in favor of upload filters. Maybe we should push for legislation about the obligation to make any upload filter completely transparent (program source).

      It is impossible to write a program that distinguishes between legit and illegit uploads. Basically everything created in the last 90 years is copyrighted. Be it video, picture or writing. How should an upload filter identify an uploader als the legit copyright owner?
