<> I have not heard of this new regulations, would you mind linking it?
As far as I know, a forum is not directly responsible for the contents on its platform.

I wrote a post on the the EU regulations you are inquiring about at the end of June 2018 (see Could Europes new copyright directives affect Bitcointalk ?). Although the proposal was not approved on the first subsequent vote, a watered down version of the regulation-to-be was created and finally approved last September. The EU country leaders still need to adapt the derivate implications to their local country rules in detail. This may still take some months but things seem to be in motion now, and well have to be on top of the final implementation details.

Also see Parliament adopts its position on digital copyright rules. Specifically, the article states:

<>Parliaments position toughens the Commissions proposed plans to make online platforms and aggregators liable for copyright infringements. This would also apply to snippets, where only a small part of a news publishers text is displayed <>.

Although the above seems not to apply to small and micro platforms, whatever the definition of this may be in the end. Hyperlinks to articles will not be pursued by copyright constraints (in the original non-approved draft they were), but memes seem to still be in the eye of the hurricane.

Well have to see how the details play out in the final law transcripts
