Facebook, Twitter & Google against piracy bans

A group, including the and Twitter, she told her Senate Environment and Communications committees s that the proposed amendments to block pirate domains "extend far beyond reason".

Facebook, Twitter & Google

The Australian government introduced the new legislation in October, and proposes to extend laws to block piracy websites by service providers and companies that have μηχανές αναζήτησης.

The bill will also allow for faster engagement of mirror sites, and it will no longer be necessary for these sites to be hosted within Australia.

“Τα μέλη μας δαπανούν χιλιάδες ώρες και εκατομμύρια δολάρια για την ανάπτυξη τεχνολογικών λύσεων για την καταπολέμηση της κάθε ηλεκτρονικής παραβίασης, για τον αποπροσανατολισμό των αποτελεσμάτων αναζήτησης, και την ανάπτυξη καλύτερων τρόπων επεξεργασίας των ειδοποιήσεων κατά της απάλειψης”, δήλωσε το Digital Industry Group Inc (DIGI), τα μέλη του οποίου συμπεριλαμβάνουν εκτός το Facebook, και το Twitter, την Google, το Instagram, την Yahoo, το , Redbubble and Oath.

The statement is available in PDF and filed in Amendment (Online Infringement) Bill 2018.

In accordance with DIGI and the companies that make up it, there are five major issues in the bill that do not need modifications, as the request for site exclusion was never dismissed by the court.

  • The amendments make the bill so wide that there is a risk of blocking legitimate websites as well.
  • The ban on internet search engines is "unprecedented and unnecessary."
  • The status of safe harbors should be widened by extending the new web-blocking system.
  • And that abolishing the supervision of a Federal Court is "extremely problematic"

Let's wait for the results of the struggle of major technology companies, although we do not expect the Hollywood industry to raise its hands.
