On 4 June the European Commission launched a public consultation
on procedures for notifying and acting on illegal content hosted by
online intermediaries. The consultation follows the European
Commission's communication published earlier this year, "A
coherent framework for building trust in the Digital Single Market
for e-commerce and online services", which highlighted the
fragmented approach adopted within the European Union in relation
to the rules and practices governing the obligations placed on
intermediary internet service providers when they are aware of
illegal content on their websites. The consultation is a further
step towards the Commission's goal of setting up a horizontal
European initiative on notice and action procedures guaranteeing
legal certainty, proportionality and respect for fundamental
rights. For more details click here.

Advertising used to be about informing consumers where the products they purchased came from and which person or corporation was responsible for their manufacture. However, over the past 50-60 years, advertisers have been striving to give brands an image or identity, which induces consumers to buy the brand as much as the underlying product to which it is affixed.
