Censorship Machine: Busting the myths - EDRi: "A general monitoring obligation is banned by both EU law and case law of the EU’s highest court, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Those who defend the upload filter mechanism argue that it does not amount to a general monitoring obligation.
The myth claims that, because the filter will look for specific files (specific copyrighted works in a database), it will be looking for millions of specific files.
In other words, the existing ban on general monitoring only covers monitoring that has no idea what it is looking for.
EU law permits monitoring in “a specific case”, so this would just be “a specific case” millions of times over. It is clearly absurd to suggest that a general search of ALL files being uploaded, to check them against a list of millions of files is not a general search." 'via Blog this'
