The US government is seeking public comments on blocking sites accused of hosting copyright infringing materials and ISP liability in such cases. The discussion includes possible harmonization with current developments in the EU in regards to copyright and will take place in two parts. The first stage will deal with US case law developments since the last meetings. The second stage will focus on foreign developments, such as the infamous Articles 11, 12a, and 13, and how these relate to the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of Internet service provider liability.

The U.S. Government's Copyright Office is continuing its review on the future of the DMCA's safe harbor provisions. It's specifically asking the public for input on recent domestic and international developments that relate to ISP liability, including Article 13 and pirate site blocking.

    These platforms hold a monopoly on much of the the monetization of social media.

    From my non creator perspective, of these, Google and Youtube would be inconvenient to lose, but there are options for them. Facebook and Twitter wouldn't bother me to lose a single bit.

    Google - yeah, annoying, but I'm really trying to like Dogpile. Just not the same though. Still, at least there's a lot of competition.
    .
    Youtube - A few people I used to watch on Youtube are now on Bitchute [bitchute.com]. Also a few people I still watch on Youtube cross-post to Bitchute.
    .
    Facebook - I log into facebook once or twice a year. I logged into Google+ more. So this one doesn't apply to me.
    .
    Twitter - I've never tweeted from my twitter account and other than following links that go there for news stories I tend to avoid it. I use gab [gab.ai] a bit though, mostly for snarky comments. So this one doesn't apply to me.
