OK, so any content that wasn't filtered isn't allowed in the EU? For instance, if in India an Indian uploads a video to a website that doesn't implement EU-compliant filters, that video will get blocked? How will the EU enforce that? Will they obscure any website that don't implement filters? I haven't followed the whole thing closely, sorry--but any help in understanding would be appreciated. |

- How internally hosted content is enforced
- How externally hosted content is enforced
- Would a VPN would help
.
Internally operated content: Fines to the company distributing the content (e.g. Google operates in the EU and if YouTube was not found to be compliant they would be fined).
Externally operated content: Not really sure, the EU doesn't have a "great firewall".
Would a VPN help: Using a VPN to upload your video to YouTube as if you were Canadian will not change that YouTube cannot show illegal content in the EU. The question posed by the law isn't "who uploaded it" it's "what is in it". Using a VPN to view videos as if you were Canadian would naturally allow you to see things blocked in the EU.
