#avmsd — Public Fediverse posts

Important contribution by @DisinfoEU on the problems that #MediaExemptions from online content #moderation on social media create. It's being debated again in the context of the EU's #AVMSD review.

On the same day, the EU Commission launched an infringement procedure against #Hungary for failing to implement the European Media Freedom Act #EMFA + the Audiovisual Media Services Directive #AVMSD:

"Hungary does not comply with provisions re interference in the work of #journalists", "restricting their economic activities and editorial freedom."

Nor "offer adequate protection of journalistic sources & confidential comms, nor effective judicial protection when these rights are breached."

Performative DSA risk assessments and #AVMSD updates: 57 MEPs from five political groups are urging the Commission to defend the Audiovisual Media Services Directive against the US. https://www.euractiv.com/section/tech/news/performative-dsa-risk-assessments-and-avmsd-updates/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=dlvr.it

@bob their more information page says it's because of this EU directive: Audiovisual Media Services Directive (#AVMSD).
I am very weirded out by this tbh. Should I just not care and comply for convenience? I don't really want to. So best alternative is to switch to a different #Youtube frontend for watching videos there. That's a huge drop in convenience obv.
Also how do other people react, this is so weird.
I wish the #EU was better and #Peertube had better and more content. Fuuuuuuuck

@tauli yes of course and so can #invidious etc, but that's not the point here. I think that it is very interesting that #Google now demands personal documents just to watch a #slaughterhouse video.
I wonder who is asked for ID? Everyone in Europe (seems to be some European thing called Audiovisual Media Services Directive (#AVMSD), that's what Googles FAQ says), just a few people?
Do most people not bother and just avoid those videos or do they comply?
