STOP KOSA!
Thanks to Communia, we have the AG opinion.
 
This comes from a set of tweets by Communia:
 
“The Advocate General opinion in case C-401/19, the Polish request to annul #Article17 is out. The AG does not recommend to annul #Article17. Instead, implementations must contain safeguards that ensure that only manifestly illegal uploads get blocked. What does this mean?”
 
“If the Court follows the AG’s recommendation, #Article17 would stay, but Member States will have to make sure that legal uploads are protected from automated filters. Filtering would only be allowed for ‘manifestly infringing’ uploads.”
 
“Where uploads are not manifestly infringing the content concerned should not be the subject of a preventive blocking measure and rightholders will have to request the removal or blocking of the content in question by means of substantiated notifications.”
 
“Most (if not all) national implementation that we have seen so far clearly fail to meet this standard and if the CJEU follows the AG they will need to co back to the drawing board (or face legal challenges).”
 
“The AG opinion also validates the most important underlying principles of the Article 17 guidance that the commission issued last month.
 
There will be more details in the full opinion and we will be back with a more through analysis later today.”

Tomorrow on July 15th, The Advocate General will give their opinion to the CJEU on how platforms like Youtube should/will be affected by the Copyright Directive.
 
They had previously given an opinion on the matter of copyright before the EUCD come into focus in 2020:

This will be somewhat of an update to that opinion now that the EUCD is taken into account, which also may have some affect on how Poland’s case will be decided down the road.
 
Please keep an eye out on that matter!

So, one of the main parties to blame for approving Chat Control is the Christian Democrats:

These same jerks also voted for the EUCD.
 
The Greens stood for the common person.

So, word is that Chat Control passed.
 
That means it’s up to the courts to strike it down but who knows how much damage it’ll do in the meantime.
 
Great, just fucking great.
 
Nothing like Citizens being ignored by their officials.
 
TO EU USERS HERE, YOU BEST BE CONCERNED NOW.

So it’s the 6th in France, where the main EU parliament building is.
 
Today is the day MEP’s vote on Chat Control.
 
Remember this:
 
The EU’s chat control regulation has been found to violate fundamental rights by a former judge of the European Court of Justice. According to a representative poll, 72% of EU citizens clearly reject indiscriminate screening of private correspondence. Despite all that, the Parliament’s Committee for Civil Liberties (LIBE) recommends the plenary to vote in favor of chat control.

Figured i get a reply like that.
 
 
That’s the thing, we don’t know how it will be truly implemented.
 
Understandable, hence why i said “I don’t think”.
 
 
These sectors only need to win once and their mistakes will be difficult to undo once successfully approved.
 
Also understandable.

Like i said, i don’t think it will affect much, depending on how it’s implemented.
You do your thing, though.
Suggestions:
1: Don’t break the encryption, but get some smart people who know the difference between innocent and guilty.
2: Have encryption remain a necessity.
3: Educate children on what should they do, same with parents.

Something inside me predicts that the EC is aware criminals use there own end to end encryption. They’ll probably ignore it, though, sadly.
 
Imo, I honestly don’t see #ChatControl affecting much, though, depending on how it’s implemented like A13/A17.
 
I’m Neutral, fyi.

A brief introduction to FLoC
FLoC is a proposed browser standard, created by Google, that promises to offer “interest-based advertising on the web”, but in a manner in which advertisers don’t know the identity of a user. Instead, they are grouped into “cohorts” created using Google algorithms, which are pools of users sharing similar interests and browsing habits. These cohorts are designed to be large enough to preserve user anonymity, while ensuring advertising can be carried out in a targeted way.
When a user visits a website, the Chrome browser tells the site which cohort that user is in, without revealing anything else about their browsing history. No content labels are assigned to these cohorts, meaning it is then up to the website and the rest of the adtech industry to work out the particular interests of that cohort, and use this information to coordinate advertising strategies.
 
No, because it gives Google too much power. Works or not.

Good to know that the EU totally has a spine and would never go full retard into bending the knee to copyright mafia.
(Sarcasm)
 
I see your sarcasm.  
Tbf, though, i don’t think they’ll change it, but i’m optimistic they’ll do it.
