This paper suggests a new approach towards online service provider liability which relies on duty of care. It proposes a concrete compliance framework for online platforms, borrowed from risk regulation, and modelled on anti-money laundering (AML) obligations in the financial sector. First, the prohibition on obliging platforms to monitor content in a general manner under the E-Commerce Directive will be discussed. On the face of it this may clash with a standardized requirement to filter for infringing content. Subsequently, the regulatory choice for such a duty of care standard will be explored. It is argued that the largely self-regulatory proposals currently on the table may be ill fitted to achieve traction and accountability. Finally, a three-tier compliance framework, modelled on the AML system and using a riskbased approach, is proposed. The pitfalls of such a highly automated compliance solution, which enforces complex legal norms, will also be touched on.

基于风险的互联网侵权预防方法:在在线平台上采用反洗钱框架

本文提出了一种新的解决在线服务提供商责任的方法,该方法依赖于谨慎义务。它为在线平台提出了一个具体的合规框架,该框架是从风险监管中借用的,并以金融部门的反洗钱(AML)义务为模型。首先,将讨论《电子商务指令》中禁止平台以一般方式监视内容的规定。从表面上看,这可能与过滤侵权内容的标准化要求相冲突。随后,将探讨此类谨慎义务标准的监管选择。有人认为,目前摆在餐桌上的大部分自我监管的提案可能不适合实现吸引力和问责制。最后,提出了一个以反洗钱系统为模型并使用基于风险的方法的三层合规框架。
