The bill wasn't notified to the EC, as required by Directive 2015/1535. Also, I think the obligation to channel rectification requests cannot be imposed on providers established in other Member States due to the ECD's country of origin principle, as interpreted by the CJEU in C-376/22 or C-662/22.

The new obligation for online platforms would be to put a mechanism for the "referral" of the rectification requests directed to users of special relevance and the "monitoring" of the process.

It allows for an alternative version of the facts to be disseminated as a "reply". In the event this right is denied by the publisher, a lawsuit can be filed and, ultimately, a judge can order the publication of the counter-narrative, but is not empowered to adjudicate the accuracy of either version

The main change in the bill is that it extends the right of rectification beyond traditional media outlets to include "users of special relevance of online platforms and equivalent services". Note this right does not serve to verify the accuracy of certain statements.

@gateklons.bsky.social I've just come across this discussion on the Spanish bill to update the law on rectification, which allows individuals to reply to published information that (i) refers to them and (ii) they believe is inaccurate and potentially harmful.

I think it's a balanced and sophisticated opinion. Reconciling the ECD with the GDPR is not easy. The AG and the EC have openly challenged some of the referring court's assumptions, regarding the categorization of an intermediary as a data controller, rather than just a processor, concerning UGC.

Does the platform have an ongoing obligation to conduct comprehensive and perpetual due diligence on linked websites? Should the platform have to do a general fact-finding assessment over third party websites perpetually?
