The article discusses the significance of the recent ECHR decision in the case of Delfi v. Estonia, where the Court introduced editorial liability of an online service provider for content produced by its users. The case seems a pivotal point in the European perception of Internet service providers liability with respect of the notice-and-takedown procedures and mere conduit exceptions present in EU and national acts of law, freeing service providers from liability for content other than its own.
