Google urges EU to be flexible in setting digital rule book
The EU executive is drawing up new rules for data-sharing and the digital marketplace as well as boosting competition after concluding that multiple antitrustactions against Google have been ineffectual.
It said while it was important to identify illegal content, mandating use of technology to do that could overblock Europeans speech and access to information.
The Commission should update its rules with a graduated scheme of exemptions from liability, including for search engines or cloud services, Google said.
Hosting services such as Googles YouTube video channel should have to act expeditiously to remove or disable access to illegal content, Google said, but expressed concern that companies may be forced to prioritise speed over careful decision-making.
New rules should also encourage new and improved features and products and help European consumers get things done quickly.
The rules, Google said, should not create undue costs and burdens for European businesses seeking to recover from a global pandemic. Original article
