Conference: Filtered Futures
Fundamental Rights Constraints of Upload Filters after the CJEU Ruling on Article 17 of the Copyright Directive. Join the conference on 19 September.
The CJEU decision on Article 17 of the copyright directive has defined a framework for the use of automated content moderation. The Court considers filtering obligations compatible with the right to freedom of expression and information as long as they are limited to use cases that allow for a robust automated distinction between legal and illegal content. In the context of Article 17, upload filters may therefore only be used by online platforms to block manifest infringements of copyright law. The Court leaves it up to the Member States to ensure that legal uses remain unaffected by their national transpositions of Article 17.
When? September 19th, 2022
Where? Robert-Bosch-Stiftung, Französische Straße 32, Berlin

This judgment raises a host of important questions for the enforcement of copyright law as well as for the compatibility of upload filters with fundamental rights even beyond copyright law. To discuss these consequences, COMMUNIA and Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte are jointly hosting the Filtered Futures conference on Monday, September 19th 2022, in Berlin.
