Upload filters would give media companies even more direct control over the internet.
All of us who post and upload content will be considered guilty until proven innocent,
while media companies will continue to face no consequences for abusing the system.
There’s no doubt what they would lead to: Even more censorship.
EU lawmakers must learn from this incident – and from the countless other documented failures of automated filtering:
Automated copyright enforcement doesn’t work.
Upload filters severely threaten our freedom of speech.
They must be rejected.

Topple Track is a “content protection” service owned by Symphonic Distribution.
The company boasts that it is “one of the leading Google Trusted Copyright Program members.”
It claims:
Once we identify pirated content we send out automated DMCA takedown requests to Google to remove
the URLs from their search results and/or the website operators.
Links and files are processed and removed as soon as possible because of Topple Track’s relationship
with Google and file sharing websites that are most commonly involved in the piracy process.
In practice, Topple Track is a poster child for the failure of automated takedown processes.
Update August 10, 2018:
Google has confirmed that it has removed Topple Track from its Trusted Copyright Removal Program membership due to a pattern of problematic notices.
