This book delivers a comprehensive examination of the legal systems
that regulate the responsibilities of intermediaries for illegal
online content in both the EU and the US. It assesses whether
existing systems are capable of tackling modern challenges,
ultimately advocating for the introduction of a double-sided duty
of care, requiring online intermediaries to do more to tackle
illegal content whilst also better protecting their users' rights.
Key features include: • discussion of the fundamental rights
implications of increased intermediary responsibility • critical
appraisal of the current EU system, as laid down in the e-Commerce
Directive, and recommendations for reform • a detailed
examination of US intermediary liability law, namely Section 230
CDA and Section 512(c) DMCA • an overview of key developments in
law and in practice in relation to all types of illegal online
content, including copyright-infringing content, child sexual abuse
material, terrorist content and hate speech • analysis of the
latest regulatory developments, including the copyright in the DSM
Directive, the amended Audiovisual Media Directive and the
Terrorist Content Regulation. This incisive book will be a key
resource for practitioners and policy makers working on issues
relating to intermediary liability and illegal online content.
Deploying the relevant case law, legal literature and legislative
history of the topic, it will also be of value to students and
academics in the field.
