    Emphasis mine.

    A catastrophic law that will restrict freedom of expression across the world, and set a disastrous precedent.

    It boggles the mind that the EU politicians who support this bill are doing so believing they are "standing up" to big tech companies, considering ONLY THE TECH GIANTS WILL EVEN HAVE THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO COMPLY, while any small or medium sized website or business that operates in the EU will not be able to afford the extremely expensive automatic filters. There goes any online startups that involve any user generated content.
