Will uploading videos to YouTube be blocked in Europe?

This is very unclear to me. There are no restrictions on YouTube in Europe. We currently have no idea about this. We cannot rule out that it could be a possibility but in no way can I confirm or deny it at this time. What do you think

YouTube does not have the legal authority to block online content but it has offered to work with ISPs to block content or remove it on demand. While there will be exemptions for legitimate purposes like public interest, that does not mean that everyone will be free to go about their business freely. There are certain things that no website will be allowed to do, most notably using images of other people on a website to endorse or criticise their products.

We already know a little about this in Europe, a lot more than we even noticed it because people were uploading videos of them surfing on their mobile phone. That was the first thing we did when we realised we'd come across such a situation. That's why we are going to share our knowledge with the European Parliament immediately. If the European Parliament is going to ban these videos in a country it's clearly going to get attention and you'd better watch the report on it. It would be a very different kind of problem if a bunch of people were taking videos of surfing on their mobile phone in public places like libraries or supermarkets.
YouTube's Terms and Conditions of Service state:

"YouTube shall not be held responsible for any errors or omissions that may be made in connection with the uploading, downloading, display, downloading for personal, non-commercial use or public display, of YouTube videos by you, your family members or individuals you authorized. It is the sole responsibility of the user of any device(s) connected to the Internet who downloads, uploads, links to, or uses any material through the website to determine what is appropriate for their age or content preferences. You represent and warrant that you are not below the age of majority in your state or country of residence and that you will not allow any person under the age of 18 to have access to the material in the Website."

"YouTube is quick to move up the battle against this EU approach, which threatens to push it to stop a large swath of knowledge and slow down the process of uploading videos to the site to avoid liability. lf YouTube took to stop copyrighted knowledge with more rigorous upload filters, Everything from the home picture of a pair’s early wedding party to a potentially viral art challenge video like the ” Harlem Shake ” flash mob would be blocked from the site. Frustrated makers and users may escape this platform if it no longer offers the outlet for their ability or dissatisfaction. lf creators make their work elsewhere, this would mean fewer pictures to see on YouTube and fewer opportunities for YouTube to create advertising revenue. This organization is already under pressure to develop advertising revenue after modifications to its algorithms around this last year have probably hurt engagement in favour of winning back scorned advertisers concerned about their brands appearing next to unseemly videos."
