I am PANICKING this standoff will be abused by the EU to implement union-wide China-style internet filters „for the good of the citizens“.
And from then on it will be a slippery slope to add more and more websites to the banlist.
- varispeed 5y agoI think you missed the boat - the requirement for filters and any company with user generated content having a censorship office in the EU and 1 hour SLA to delete content on request has recently passed without voting. It will be now implemented within a year.

- axiosgunnar 5y agoYes but that‘s just another regulation in law space. What I‘m worried about is filtering infrastructure in tech space.
- varispeed 5y agoIt looks like they changed it so that the content filters are optional, but the it's very worrying where this is going indeed.
- tapoxi 5y agoYou don't need a filter. The modern way to enforce this is having Apple and Google remove WhatsApp from their respective stores.
