No, platforms run by startups are not exempted. The criteria for exception are:

    Available to the public for less than 3 years AND
    Annual turnover below €10 million AND
    Fewer than 5 million unique monthly visitors
So any "for-profit" site which is more than 3 years old will need to implement upload filters.

So, the Open Source site we've been putting together in our spare time over the last few years (dbhub.io)... probably won't be exempted. Ugh.

It might, if it does not found as "for profit". Where this line will be drawn is unknown.
