The CJEU’s Russmedia decision (C-492/23) and the End of Platform Exceptionalism in EU Data Protection Law

For twenty-five years, platforms have operated on a "publish first, remove on notice" model, assuming that the hosting privilege also shielded them from data protection duties. In Russmedia (C-492/23), the CJEU rejected that assumption on the plain wording of Article 1(5)(b) of the eCommerce Directive. A platform that structures and monetises user content is a controller and must build pre-publication review, identity verification and protection against scraping and copying into its architecture. These duties derive from general GDPR provisions, so they are not limited to sensitive data and require a risk assessment of all personal data a platform publishes. Platform operators must adapt or leave the field.
