they should take all reasonable steps to stop it.

Indeed and "reasonable" is the key word there. Some of those who have been against this directive have tried to assert that it means having to do everything which could be done and will force platforms to do whatever Big Media says must be done; that anything less would be unreasonable, a failing to comply with the directive.

In the real world it of course means no such thing and it seems to be many criticism of the directive are just ridiculous extrapolations of absurd worse case scenarios; an imaginary nightmare all the way down..
