Ms Sabha Greene:

Yes. The Deputy might recall that the e-commerce directive introduced a kind of liability protection and stated that hosting services, the platforms and the search engines were not under an obligation to go and look for any illegal content online. However, those platforms were concerned that if they did look, just on the off chance, they would lose that liability protection because it might indicate that they had a suspicion. What the scheme does now is it provides for what is referred to as a good Samaritan clause, which is intended to indicate to the platforms that if they decide to do a trawl every so often and they find something, they still have the liability protection. That is how it updates the directive. It is designed to make it more likely that we find illegal content and take it down more quickly.
