"The EC proposal regarding Article 17 EMFA is trying to solve a problem that actually does not exist. There is no evidence to confirm that over-removal of media content is a systemic problem (...)."

"According to the EMFA draft anyone can be a media service provider (...) Imagine all the bad actors now being able to benefit from Article 17."
2 / 9
"The system is prone to abuse by bad actors, and the system also will enable state-controlled media that spreads disinformation and propaganda."
3 / 9
"The privileged treatment introduced in the EMFA is hard to implement (...) and will very likely result in a situation where the very large online platforms will refrain from content moderation of any media."
4 / 9
"This Article 17 in the European Media Freedom Act will open the door for the media exemption. (...) We are already seeing that happening in the institutions."
5 / 9
"The very fact of how quickly media content carrying disinformation specifically (...) goes online, how quickly it actually spreads, is not being accounted for."
6 / 9
"Article 17 could be used to prevent effective enforcement of the DSA: platforms could very easily justify their non compliance with the DSA by provisions in the EMFA, as this is a sector specific regulation (...)."
7 / 9
"Article 17 EMFA is nothing more than another attempt to bring a very, very bad idea back to life, one that was already rejected in the DSA by both the Council and the EP: the media exemption."
8 / 9
"This is a choice between a non-existent issue of media content moderation and ensuring that users are safe online by deleting Article 17 and focusing on the DSA’s effective implementation and enforcement."
