You are thinking of Article 13 (the upload filter), which hasn't been passed yet. Not to be a pendant, but an initialism cannot be meaningless almost by definition -- it has to mean something otherwise it wouldn't be an initialism. GDPR means the "General Data Privacy Regulation". FWIW, I completely agree with you on the chilling effect of upload filters. But upload filters aren't part of GDPR by any stretch of the imagination.
