Well, it only applies *when* you become aware of that. The clear example I can think of would be a Facebook post saying "I will install a number of bombs next week". That is published automatically by the user (Facebook is not aware of it). Then the post is flagged by a user and reviewed by a moderator. *At that point* Facebook would "become aware" of such information, and need to report it to the Law Enforcement. On the other hand, if you are a site which accepts guest posts, with a policy of reviewing everything before publishing, you would be expected to have been become aware of that. Of course, if you are instead the NSA, you would probably want a trigger on every mention of the word "bomb", you know, for the Greater Good of National Security, even if that means getting a lot of False Positives... such as this thread. > only a jackass wana be terr****st will put dangerous/alarm trigger > stuff in the Subject of his emails. I don't think the Subject line of emails would be any different than the body wrt to not spying your users. (Nevertheless, I am sure many crooks have used incriminating Subject lines on their emails) > so do the EU wants us to play as NSA for free ? and pursue us if we > don't... As mentioned above, I don't think so.

Also of interest, this proposal doesn't seem to have been approved yet https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2020_361 Best regards _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
