I don't know off-hand. The claim that this "is the future the EU has voted for" was made by the article, not by me. I was, for the sake of argument, taking the article at its word on that - and observing that, in that light, its histrionics about Article 13 come across as misplaced. That being said, even if a speedy review process isn't required de jure, market forces should make it a de facto requirement. Over time, a platform with overzealous takedowns & inadequate appeals process will lose out to any competition which does better on either front. (Yes, I know it hasn't worked out like that with YouTube. They're close enough to a monopoly that market forces don't really apply, and that's a whole other problem.)
