• Applies to providers offering audiovisual programmes.
• Offer an audiovisual programme only if it carries a clearly visible age-limit and content mark under Section 16, or, for a programme unambiguously intended only for those 18 and older, a clear mark of the 18-year age limit alone (s. 5).
• Classify a programme harmful to a child's development as 7, 12, 16 or 18 years with a content symbol; a programme intended solely for adults may skip classification if it carries the 18-year mark instead (s. 16).
• Do not offer a programme rated 18 to a minor, subject to a broadcast-timing exception (s. 6).
• Keep a programme rated 7, 12 or 16 from being watched by a younger child, through broadcast timing, making a blocking service available, or otherwise verifying age when the programme is offered (s. 6).

• If you provide a video-sharing platform service whose provider is treated as established in Finland, take appropriate measures to protect children from programmes that may be harmful to a child's development (section 7 a).

• Do not let those measures lead to prior checking of content or to filtering of uploads (section 7 a).
• Give the National Audiovisual Institute, on request, the information it needs to supervise compliance with the Act (section 23 a).

• Do not manufacture, offer or otherwise distribute an image depicting a child sexually, including a realistic image that deceptively resembles a photograph of a child depicted sexually even though no real child was involved; the test is whether the image deceptively resembles a photograph, so a wholly AI-generated or synthetically altered image can fall within it (Section 19).
• Do not possess such an image, or pay for or otherwise arrange access to it (Section 21).
• A narrow exception excuses production or distribution justified by the image's informational character or its evident artistic value (Section 19).

• If you develop, make or produce software, including software supplied through a cloud or as a service, you answer as its manufacturer; free and open-source software developed or supplied outside commercial activity is outside the Act (Secs. 1 a and 2 point 5).
• Keep supplying the software updates and upgrades needed to keep the product safe while it is under your control: a lack of safety caused by software, an update or upgrade, a related service, a missing necessary update or a substantial modification is not excused because it arose after you put the product on the market (Sec. 7).
• Meet the mandatory product-safety requirements that apply to your product, because a product that fails them is presumed to lack safety (Sec. 4 b).
• Be ready to produce the evidence a court orders disclosed and to present it, on a party's request, in an easily accessible and understandable form, because failing to comply with a disclosure order presumes the product defective (Secs. 4 b and 13 b).
• If you are established outside the European Union, your importer, your authorized representative or, if there is neither, your fulfilment service provider answers beside you (Sec. 5).
• If you distribute a product or run an online platform that lets consumers conclude distance contracts, you answer when no liable operator can be identified or established in the Union, unless you name one within a month of the request (Sec. 6).
• Be ready to show that the objective state of scientific and technical knowledge when you placed the product on the market, or while it was under your control, did not allow the lack of safety to be detected (Sec. 7).
• Count the destruction or corruption of data used exclusively for personal purposes as compensable economic loss, with no lower limit for property damage (Sec. 8).
• A claim must be brought within three years of the injured person learning, or having reason to learn, of the damage, the lack of safety and the liable person, and within ten years of the product being placed on the market or put into use, or 25 years for latent personal injury (Sec. 9).
