Hmm, call me a cynic but this sounds a bit too good to be true. What's the catch?


The "worst" thing about this from my understanding is that for now this is just an agreement.

From the bottom of the article:

> The EU Parliament’s civil liberties committee is due to confirm the agreement on 13 November.

> 20 November 2023: Announcement in plenary (likely no vote on substance)

> 4 December 2023: Envisaged Adoption of Partial General Approach by EU Council (tbc)

> after 2024 EU elections: Envisaged trilogue negotiations of the final text of the legislation between Commission, Parliament and Council, as well as adoption of the result


The bill will probably piggyback a lot of other caveats like age verification or online ID requirements.
