   > forcing any and all electronic platforms to be liable for copyright infringements of user-uploaded content, if they have not taken “appropriate and reasonable measures” from preventing such uploads. [ . . . ] forcing electronic platforms to be liable to multimillion lawsuits if they don’t use automatic censorship machines.
   
   This means making things like Google's broken Content-ID mandatory. CID causes no end of troubles for small independent publishers and for fair use.
   
   > Worse still, there’s already — already! — steps taken to expand this machine censorship (let’s call a spade a spade, here) to also include unwanted political opinions, under the label of “terrorist propaganda” — which has become so diluted today that it basically means “anything the government doesn’t particularly like”.
   
   > a mandatory linking fee (!!) which is the other horrible thing about this “small revision”. Yes, this is the “Google Tax” that was tried with disastrous results in Spain.
