Also a little fyi, in this article: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/eu-copyright-rules-new-article-11-13-youtube-google-meme-ban-a8779101.html

Julia Reda said and I quote "Although the directive says it will not impose filters, sites will have no choice but to implement them to prevent anything that goes against the new law from making it online."

For anyone who doesn't understand what Ms Reda means, basically she's saying that while the directive doesn't mention upload filters in it's text, that doesn't mean sites won't be forced to implement them
