I don’t think this is correct, at least not for google, amazon, and other big providers, which I send email with abuses every other day and they react to it and resolve them.

A webform, for a regulator, most likely will be seen as an 'upgrade'. Note that FB and Google also *only accept* complaints, notices etc via webforms. So one can argue a webform is abuse@ 2.0 :) So I do not share you view that a webform is a second rate instrument for accepting abuse notifications. As for ECD/DSA that will most likely be subject to lobby forces beyond our imagination, so anything is possible there ... -- IDGARA | Alex de Joode | a...@idgara.nl | +31651108221 | Skype:adejoode On Tue, 08-09-2020 15h 51min, Carlos Friaças <cfria...@fccn.pt> wrote: On Tue, 8 Sep 2020, Alex de Joode wrote: > There are a couple of things in play here. > Networks normally fall under the "mere conduit' provisions of the eCommerce > Directive (ECD (EU law)), this > means they do not have a (legal) requirement to actively address abuse within > their networks.

Before that, a webform may be in the way :-) If the regulator understands that artificial 'requirement' to be a way of avoiding that action of forwarding the abuse, then they might act.

Clearly. But this comment is directly tied with the earlier suggestion of renaming the WG...
