but the question is how will they enforce this? let's say there are X units of content that based on the directive should not be available to Europeans through platform Y.

How will they know? unless someone reports the content its impossible for any EU system to catch that.

the EU will not. The Directive must be implemented by member states, and they will detail the means and the lengths of how this directive is applied/enforced.

Since every state has it's own version of Copyright office and what powers it has, it will not be 100% homogenous all over.

but then even more to the point. Will each country create its own "firewall" ? unlikely.. maybe a new business opportunity arises :P
