The aim of this law is to combat hate speech, fake news, and illegal content on social media platforms. The law requires social media platforms with **over 2 million** users to remove any content that is deemed illegal **within 24 hours of receiving a complaint**. Failure to do so can result in hefty fines, which can go **up to 50 million euros**. While this law has been effective in removing illegal content, it has also been criticized for its potential to curb free speech. March 17, 2022 - ****Crypto company jokes about using garlic to ward off SEC**** LBRY Inc, a blockchain publishing company accused by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of selling unregistered securities, tweeted on Wednesday that it is "done being nice" and that it would engage in "psychological warfare" as it fights the lawsuit. "We do not respect the SEC," read the tweet, which attached a screenshot of a chat attributed to LBRY co-founder Alex Grintsvayg saying "lawyers told me its ok" to attend a deposition in the case "looking sharp but smelling awful, as a form of psychological warfare." LBRY chief executive and co-founder Jeremy Kauffman told Reuters on Wednesday that the tweet was "partly a joke." "It is true that we don't like the SEC," he said. ## Questions 1. Was Odysee or LBRY affected by NetzDG that you are aware of? 2. Able to fulfill reports w/ VPN. Is there a way to prevent that? 3. Other countries looking to censor? 4. Okay how do you pronounce LBRY? 5. On LBRY's Twitter profile, it says, "LBRY does to publishing what Bitcoin does to money." If you were going to pitch this concept to someone who doesn't know what Bitcoin does to money, what would you tell them to get them on board? (I looked at the "what" page on the LBRY website, and while I appreciate that it seems to be written out very thoroughly… for people like me it's way over my head. I want to get excited about this stuff, and be "all in" too. 6. In November of last year, LBC was declared a Security and it seems the SEC is trying to bring it all down. I don't want to put you on the spot, but how is that going? 1. I saw an article about Gary Gensler from the NYT On Nov 21, 2022 where they call him a "crypto nemesis."
