Title: A dim future for every made-in-the-EU platform, service and online community

Under the final text [of the EU's Copyright Directive], any online community, platform or service that has existed for three or more years, or is making €10,000,001/year or more, is responsible for ensuring that no user ever posts anything that infringes copyright, even momentarily.
