One thing I found odd was the reference early in the judgment to the content being manifestly unlawful. But if it was, the identity checks that the controller has to carry out wouldn’t be necessary. FWIW, it comes from para 17 of the referring court’s request. curia.europa.eu/juris/showPd...

I was referring to non GDPR liability created by GDPR related scans g and considering the CJEU’s views on automation in Glawischnig and YT/Cyando (Martin Husovec’s DSA GM chapter great on this). I agree that don’t think it matters for the GDPR liability - and that’s going to create big issues too.

or, when they look at the model marketplaces like Hugging Face that @gorwa.ca and I deal with here www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.... — will they need to scan ML models for sensitive data before letting them be uploaded?

It was surprising how GC didn't even get a mention

CJEU is aware, but states that the 'shall not apply' in the ECD (note, this is now 'without prejudice' in DSA) excludes it. Doesn't address what the consequences of DP-obliged monitoring (and any resulting awareness of illegality by humans) are for liability though.

But monitoring is monitoring. High-performing, solely algorithmic monitoring already seems to be out of the GM prohibition. But this might require human checks. Do humans assisting you doing these pre-emptive checks not become aware of illegality just because the checks were *motivated* by the GDPR?
