Oh dear:

Under this ruling, it appears that any website that hosts any user-generated content can be strictly liable if any of that content contains “sensitive personal data” about any person. But how the fuck are they supposed to handle that?

This may deprive G of intermediary liability shielding for the content of adverts for eg counterfeit goods (see CJEU in Google France [118]). https://www.ft.com/content/36d09d32-8735-466a-97a6-868dfa34bdd5 https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document_print.jsf?mode=lst&pageIndex=0&docid=83961&part=1&doclang=EN&text=&dir=&occ=first&cid=318118 #DSA #intermediaryLiability
