What's the chance of this actually passing? Aren't there are a lot of stupid proposals in most legislative institutions that never make it out of committee?

The article is light (read: empty) on details regarding its chance of passing. Even details like which committee are we talking about are missing. Which MEPs sits on it?

Last time I read about this it sounded like the chances of it passing seemed high. Check the "Where the member states stand" chart on this MEP's blog: https://juliareda.eu/2018/05/censorship-machines-link-tax-fi...

But was that with the amendment introduced on 25 May? The original article says the proposal was introduced on GDPR Day, I assume that means 25 May. That blog post was last updated on 25 May. Was that before or after they had taken the temperature for MEPs' stance on this new proposal?

How is this even compatible with GDPR? Is this not sharing protected data with a third party data processor? Would the legal basis for regulatory compliance or something else?

The GDPR does not prohibit sharing data with third parties. It prohibits sharing data without informed consent or any other legal basis. Compliance with laws and regulations is explicitly listed as valid basis for data sharing. You can’t deny your employer to share your income information with the tax authorities either.

this is an attack on the USA, it is an attack on mixtape producers, remixers, and artists

any police who enforce this are targets of american military force

when the EU makes American art illegal, the Americans do not recognize EU police as friendly

this is an insult to the American people

those Europeans should commit suicide

Why wouldn't it be compatible with GDPR? It's a content copyright checking requirement, mandated by law (that part by itself likely makes it compliant with GDPR).

If I submit a blog post, that content gets run through a mandated copyright check, nothing about me or the actual content is permanently stored by the checking software. The content of the blog post is flagged or not for violating a copyright, the flag determines whether it's allow to be published.

Someone correct me if I'm misunderstanding how this law would work.
