Dear Lodejwik, All,
sharing meta page with all the information in short[1] and this is the
direct link to document with suggestions to the survey[2]
[
Hi Anna,
in your previous email you suggested that you'd make a narrative
available on meta. Where can we find it?
Best,
Lodewijk

Dear All,
a friendly reminder that the possibility to respond to the
consultation remains available *until June 25th* (relevant links
below). There is a possibility to fill it as a civil society
organisation (20-30 mins); or as an individual (even less) if that
is more accurate for you (or both, if applicable!). It is
unfortunately fully geared up to gather anecdotal evidence to
illustrate the thesis that internet is a dangerous place in need
of a serious legislative intervention. But also to make the
platforms the center of that fight with - you guessed correctly -
automated content detection and decision making. So if the debate
on copyright reform is of any indication, we are potentially
facing another battle against filtering in the future.
If the survey is indicative of anything that the European
Commission plans, the idea is to focus on blocking content, while
putting the actual law enforcement role on the back burner if it
comes to the online activity. Some statements or questions are a
bit ambiguous. If you decide to give it a shot and would like to
use some background, I can share insights and suggestions for
responses, let me know individually.
Have a good weekend!
Anna
P.S. EDRi made a guide for individual responders that you can find
here:
https://edri.org/consultation_illegalcontent.html - last
part of the survey ("Your opinion") is the same for any type of a
responder.

Dear All,
we didn't wait long until - after the feedback sought on the
Preliminary Impact Assessment - the European Commission wants to
learn more about how to improve the efforts in fighting illegal
content online. The consultation is open *until June 25th*[1] and
it has a form of a concise questionnaire[2].
I will be working on the questionnaire where it requires a
narrative (short answers) after May 15th and make the responses
available on meta. The questionnaire is partially the same for
everyone and partially customized according to the capacity in
which you answer (as an individual, a digital rights
organization, an online hosting service provider, etc.).
Since the way we will in future implement and encounter illegal
content moderation - whether as a notice and takedown or
automated detection/filtering - is very important for the whole
community, I encourage you to consider sending a separate
response, in whichever capacity you feel it makes sense for you.
It is clear that the questions steer us into the model that has
been presented in both the Communication and the Recommendation
for Tackling Illegal Content Online, and these solutions are not
all great. It is important that we show that we care about this
topic.
I am happy to receive any feedback from you on both the general
level as well as on detailed questions. If needed, I will help
and share the approach we will have in Brussels on this in
greater detail.
Have a good week!
Anna
