Together with the German supporting organisations ANGA and ZVEI as well as the European organisations Cable Europe and DIGITALEUROPE Bitkom calls on a future-proof regulatory framework for digital media and a fair balance between the interests of content providers, platform operators and infrastructure operators.
We do not consider it appropriate to indistinctly transfer the existing rules and regulations – especially not some very specific national regulations – into the world of digital, converging media and information. The supporting organisations specifically reject the introduction of a so-called “must be found” regulation.
Please find the joint paper “Must be Found Regulation is Not an End in Itself” attached.“
