I don't know if the remit of the OECD study has changed since I was 
participating about two years ago, but at that point it wasn't talking 
about what Intermediaries can and cannot do, but which things happening 
on their systems (instigated by third parties) they were liable, or not 
liable, for.

eg. At the time YouTube was in the news for *not* removing a video in 
Italy of a disabled child being assaulted in school (after they'd 
received a complaint), rather than for exercising *too much* control.
