Commentary
Denmark’s government has announced plans to expand copyright law in “a pioneering measure that would allow people to demand that social media platforms take down digital forgeries” as part of an amendment to the existing Danish Copyright Act. The proposed change does not come under its own legislation, so it does not have a specific name like the UK’s “Online Safety Act” or the U.S.’s “Take It Down Act.” Instead, it would be an alteration to pre-existing legislation.
