So, laudable intent because some of the articles in the proposed regulation are dumb beyond measure But it doesn't help their credibility that they made an entire article debunking the wrong entity Of the three claims they "debunk" only the 90% of content being hosted in the EU was a claim made by the EU commission, specifically in 2020 by Johansson, the data seems to come from an NGO called Internet Watch Foundation [0] and it does seem unlikely (from a quick glance I think the 90% claim is about content reported within europe, which makes the statement more likely. But in any case it wouldn't matter because for the critical pieces of the legislation it's not a claim that would justify the measures anyway) But in the other two points the website is constantly referring to this website: https://human-rights-channel.coe.int/stop-child-sexual-abuse-in-sport-en.html https://human-rights-channel.coe.int/stop-child-sexual-abuse... and acting as if the Eu commission authored it. The issue is that this website is hosted and authored by the Council of Europe (hence the coe.int domain), an entity entirely disjointed from the EU, of which the EU institutions aren't even a member. This is confusing to people because there are two organizations (European Council and Council of the European Union) which are part of the EU While the intent of the article is laudable and the scanning parts of the regulation have got to go the "Trumpiest" part of this whole thing is the fact that this website made a whole debunking article based on such thorough research that they didn't even notice they were getting the subject of the debunking wrong (on the positive side it looks like the german government also agrees, so the chances of those parts going away in amendments increased significantly [1]) [0] https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/europe-is-worlds-largest-host-of-child-pornography-advocacy-groups-say/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/europe-is-worl...
