So, what happened to that? ^

Parliament wanted:

> Apply the law to platforms that “optimise and promote” significant amounts of user-uploaded works and are not small businesses (turnover below €10M and less than 50 employees)

So you're saying this is what passed? If it wasn't for the "Available to the public for less than 3 years", I wouldn't be as worried.

Upload filters must be installed by everyone except those services which fit all three of the following extremely narrow criteria:

* Available to the public for less than 3 years

* Annual turnover below €10 million

* Fewer than 5 million unique monthly visitors

Yes, this is what passed.

The "5 million unique monthly visitors" point is concerning too, because that term is not clearly defined.
