How is archive.org not exempt? They are outside of EU jurisdiction unless they made the mistake of opening an office over there, which would be trivially fixable by shutting it down.
- vonmoltke 8y agoThey are not exempt in the sense that the EU (or individual member states) will start blocking the Internet Archive if they don't comply.
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoIs there any precedent for EU countries blocking websites due to libel claims? I don't think what you're describing has ever happened.
- tropo 8y agoCool. Let the EU have their own little mini-Internet in complete denial of the existence of wrongthink.
- yellowapple 8y agoWouldn't the same also apply for the Wikimedia Foundation?
- tropo 8y agoI would hope so, but Wikipedia seems large enough to have servers over there. If the EU can get away with this, what about North Korea and Saudi Arabia? Imagine a Wikipedia that can only say good things about Kim Jong-Un and doesn't contain any pictures of female faces.
