FWIW, today WIkimedia Italia had a Barcamp at the Italian Parliament to talk about Wiki Loves Monuments, FOP (which we already don't have) and related stuff. Several politicians were present and we discussed also this matter. They already alerted their MEPs. Hopefully this will contribute to the discussion.

Just out of curiosity, if this legislation were to pass in Europe, and
(for example) an American tourist took a photograph of a covered building in Europe and posted it when he or she arrived back in the U.S., would it be deleted on the ground that the image was non-free at the site, or kept on the ground that it was free where it was posted?
No one knows for sure. See

Whereas this is correct in principle, in a situation Brad describes the photo most certainly will be deleted. Also, I do not see how the photo is free in the US, due to URAA provisions.
