Dimi,
Thanks for the analysis!
I feel it funny when the people are "collectively responsible". It usually ends in throwing the blame like a hot potato between all the guys :-D
Was there any talk about ... "how this decision might change the very essence of web 2.0 projects?"
Would Julia Reda be interested in organizing such an event in september ? :-)

I basically explained to them how the Wikimedia movement is constructed and the roles of the different organisations and communities. I also told them that we can't have a position on this as long as we don't have the results of an in-depth legal analysis, but for us it would also be good to know what all the stakeholders think about this issue. I also agreed that it is a "right to privacy" vs. "freedom of expression" balancing act here. I added that IMO there might be a higher risk of censorship if the removal decisions are left up to each company/organisation as it currenlty is.
I am thinkingthat if the idea of having a round-touble on this in Brussels proves popular among other NGOs, companies and policy-makers we should most definitely join in. If it remians a Google-only organised event, we might need to be more careful.
Cheers,
Dimi
