Sorry -- not all affected platforms are run by "big corporations". All for-profit plateforms over 3 years old are affected, even small ones. This will severely harm the EU startup scene in that category.

    So you're saying this is what passed? If it wasn't for the "Available to the public for less than 3 years", I wouldn't be as worried. --- Upload filters must be installed by everyone except those services which fit all three of the following extremely narrow criteria: * Available to the public for less than 3 years * Annual turnover below €10 million * Fewer than 5 million unique monthly visitors

  The term they use is "online content sharing platform" + some rules about organizing content. Please see the text, it is a bit messy, I think it is better than quoting parts of it here. Depends on how you interpret it.
