New EU Directive Limits Hate Speech, Establishes European Content Quotas; Intellectual Property Watch, November 6, 2018

William New, Intellectual Property Watch; New EU Directive Limits Hate Speech, Establishes European Content Quotas

"A new directive adopted today by European Union member governments updates and strengthens regulations on video-sharing platforms and other newer forms of media, emphasising the public interest, elevating protections for children, and establishing a 30 percent quota of European content in on-demand audiovisual media services

An over-riding element of the new rules is to emphasise the public interest over other interests, while seeking to ensure freedom of expression."
