But luckily it is only a proposal. The council and parliament will still vote for this, before it becomes European law. Both bodies will likely oppose, and the proposal will be significantly amended. 
I honestly don&amp;#x27;t see the commissions reasoning on why this is a good proposal. 
But I don&amp;#x27;t see how the EU as an institution is bashed for this. This is a similar  process as occurs in any other member state and other democracies. Not to mention the US, with it&amp;#x27;s secret laws and national security letters.&lt;p&gt;My personal opinion is that illegal content (CP, inciting violence) should be moderated quickly, where failure to act has big consequences. What I don&amp;#x27;t like about the proposal is that it is enforced by governments, and not some judiciary body. I hope the council and parliament will amend the proposal in such a way this is reflected in a final law.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>Vinnl</author><text>Yes, in fact, that&amp;#x27;s why it&amp;#x27;s good that Mozilla&amp;#x27;s on top of this early in the process. Let&amp;#x27;s hope they manage to remove the problematic parts they outline in this post.&lt;p&gt;When you say &amp;quot;quickly&amp;quot;, do you also mean &amp;quot;within the hour&amp;quot;? If so, what about a small webhost that gets abused?&lt;p&gt;I think the shortest period that&amp;#x27;s considered quick enough and would at least make somewhat sense is &amp;quot;before something manages to spread widely&amp;quot;, but that&amp;#x27;s still murky and still has many problematic practical concerns.</text></comment>

You just need to take a look at who proposed it.&lt;p&gt;So the question about illegal content is completely misplaced.</text></comment>
