"Even in its amended version, this proposed directive would require that **websites with large amounts of user uploaded content** add mandatory upload filters. What this means is that websites would be required to have algorithms check **all user uploads** against a database of content and block those that are detected as infringing copyrights from appearing online."

"very concerned about potential impacts that the proposal would have on #Wikipedia, which largely addresses infringing content through community mechanisms.
