> You gave instagram a license to share your content.

No, in the scenario you're responding to, someone sent you a photo that is not and has never been on Instagram. Instagram is now required by law to prevent you from uploading it, because you are not the copyright owner of the image. How does that make sense?

I see, yes I misunderstood, then if the image is reported as a infringing it should be taken down.

Nowhere am I suggesting prescreening material.

Right. So, Article 13 apparently requires prescreening material. That's specifically why people are up in arms.

Everyone is pretty much on board with the necessity for providers to take down content in response to infringement reports, albeit with a side argument about how current implementations of this favour big money over small creators.
