#7> service providers on the web only have to obey the laws of the country in which they are situated ...
What does it mean for an internet site to be situated somewhere? What country is that?
For example, http://dreadditevelidot.onion. Where is it situated? It does have an interesting discussion forum. It certainly has rules. Is it now supposed to appoint a liaison officer in Austria (and 200+ other jurisdictions)?

#8Could anyone shed some light on which problem this is supposed to solve exactly and what triggered it in the first place in Austria right now?
Have there been any issues caused by anonymous posts recently? Maybe I'm just living under a rock, but my feeling was that the main issues we're currently facing stem from political distortion caused by populism misusing platform mechanisms to spread misinformation. I don't see how this is supposed to help.
