Tech policy & human rights
Big tech accountability? Read how we got here in The Closing of the Net
EU laat censuurmaatregel binnenglippen
Verwijderplicht op Europese agenda
by Pieterjan Van Leemputten
In ZD Net Belgium, 2 September 2012
Maar de versie van de Europese Commissie gaat veel verder en bevat volgens de website Iptegrity ook het blokkeren van inhoud met behulp van deep packet inspection, het overnemen van domeinnnamen en het blokkeren van betalingen.
Concreet gaat het om een consultatie onder de naam ‘A clean and open Internet: Public consultation on procedures for
notifying and acting on illegal content hosted by online intermediaries.’ Wie wil kan op het einde van het document, en voor 5
september, als privépersoon of organisatie zijn opmerkingen geven over het initiatief.
Hoewel het document stelt dat het gaat om het opstellen van een omkadering om internetspelers niet verantwoordelijk te
stellen voor illegale daden van hun gebruikers, verwijst het document naar artikel 14 van de E-commerce richtlijn die stelt dat
een provider materiaal moet blokkeren of verwijderen zodra het hiervan op de hoogte wordt gesteld. Dat moet de basis voor
Notice and Action worden.

My Linked In profileIptegrity in brief
Iptegrity.com is the website of Dr Monica Horten. I’ve been analysing analysing digital policy since 2008. Way back then, I identified how issues around rights can influence Internet policy, and that has been a thread throughout all of my research. I hold a PhD in EU Communications Policy from the University of Westminster (2010), and a Post-graduate diploma in marketing. I’ve served as an independent expert on the Council of Europe Committee on Internet Freedoms, and was involved in a capacity building project in Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine. I am currently (from June 2022) Policy Manager - Freedom of Expression, with the Open Rights Group. For more, see About Iptegrity
