But I see no mention of lists, much less preventive lists. Yup, this is one of the possible mechanisms, but nowhere do I see it mandated as THE mechanism. For me it's business as usual just that now I fingerprint all files and maybe have a cron job for reuploads. I don't even see myself having to be accurate, just take care. I'm liable if negligent.

The most unfortunate thing I find about this is that's just a broad directive for each of the member states to implement its own way. But that's a general argument about every EU regulation.



The mention of lists is from Voss's blog post, where he says that the rightholders will provide inputs to the filters, and the filters will filter only what the rightsholders told them to filter (which is a problematic statement in itself, but I'll take it at face value because eh if the author of the law doesn't know what he's talking about I don't know where to start)
