[Edri-cra-discussion] Re: [EDRi-members] Related to CRA, revision of product liability directive

This looks like something we should generally support. It aims to protect consumers against defective products, even when the defect is introduced by a post-sale software upgrade, or by lack of software upgrades, and even if the upgrade includes machine learning components. It ensures that someone will be liable; if the OEM isn't in the EU, and doesn't have an authorised importer or representative, you can sue the fulfilment operator such as Amazon. But there are the usual stings in the tail. If the product has to comply with local regulations, then the vendor may be off the hook.
