47Thus, in its interpretation of the liability regime based on Article 3 of Directive 2001/29 and Article 14 of Directive 2000/31, applicable to online content-sharing service providers until the entry into force of Article 17 of Directive 2019/790, the Court emphasised the need to take due account of the particular importance of the internet to freedom of expression and information, safeguarded by Article 11 of the Charter, and thus to ensure respect for that fundamental right when that regime was implemented (see, to that effect, judgment of 22 June 2021, YouTube and Cyando, C‑682/18 and C‑683/18, EU:C:2021:503, paragraphs 64, 65 and 113).
