The American Copyright Office is collecting information for the creation of a standard on technical measures to be taken in the field of copyright infringement. In a comment sent by the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) organisation, an adamant point of view: content moderation cannot be entrusted to software or a robot (whatever you want to call it). Practical examples given in the note are the 12-minute cat sound challenged by YouTube's Content ID, Instagram's takedown of an original video, or Facebook's inability to distinguish classical music performances by two different orchestras.
