European Union: Poland challenges Article 17 DSM Article

The Polish government requests the annulment of Article 17(4)(b) and Article 17(4)(c) of the Copyright Directive due to the obligation to make best efforts to prevent future uploads of material that was removed. The challenge is motivated by concerns that the implementation of the provision will result in censorship and will limit the freedom of expression and the freedom to receive and impart information guaranteed in Article 13 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (Charter).
