> platforms have been built on the knowledge that they're heavily used for content theft Yes, and most providers have usually done a good job at reducing content theft on their platforms, to the extent of their capabilities.

Sadly, you could very well be completely mistaken. Google, Facebook & Co. already have their filters; they can prove that they're trying their best. It's only the smaller communities that will be affected, and they won't have the money for dozens of well-paid machine-learning specialists to build them content filters. We'll see how long it takes for google to sell access to their services. Of course, if you think I'm mistaken, I'd love to hear your reasoning (I'd also really love to be proven wrong on this topic)
