#Platform #operators of the #decentralised #socialweb, like #Mastodon and #Bluesky, can limit #copyrightliability by following the #DMCA #safeharbour provisions. This includes designating a contact for infringement notices, responding promptly to notices and counter-notices, having a repeat infringer policy, not ignoring known infringement, and avoiding encouraging infringement. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/copyright-and-dmca-best-practices-fediverse-operators?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

#BigSister Ylva Johansson touts a Commission paper in which the authors of the #ChatControl #CSAR #MassSurveillance proposal once again deny that it violates fundamental rights. This assessment is as "independent" as listening to Putin on the war against Ukraine.
The paper reads much like the arguments the Commission presented in Court before the #DataDetention directive it had proposed and the #SafeHarbour/#PrivacyShield schemes it had negotiated failed spectacularly.
The Commission's arguments were already dismissed by the independent legal assessments presented by EPRS and Council Legal Service that clearly find bulk searches of our private communications content are indiscriminate and violate the essence of fundamental rights.

Thus fact remains that #ChatControl will fail to protect children already for the reason that the courts would strike it down.
Let's give children the protection they deserve: effective, rights-respecting and compliant!

If you want #SafeHarbour protections as an intermediary, not a publisher responsible for content, it's only fair that you behave as - and get regulated as - as #CommonCarrier. If you make any editorial decisions whatsoever about who and what can be transmitted through your system, you are behaving as a publisher and it's only fair that you get regulated as a publisher. That means you're legally responsible for all content transmitted through your system. Carrier or publisher, which is it?
