Almenn hegningarlög nr. 19/1940 (General Penal Code), 210. gr. a, 5. mgr., eins og henni var breytt með lögum nr. 29/2022 · Read the law's page

• Do not produce, import, acquire, distribute, or possess image material depicting a person 18 years of age or older acting sexually while playing the role of a child, or a non-real depiction of a child in such material, such as a cartoon, an illustration, or another simulated or AI-generated image, under Almenn hegningarlög Article 210.a.
• This duty binds a synthetic or AI-generated depiction on the same terms as any other image; the fact that no real child appears in it is not a defense.

• Article 28 binds media service providers that distribute audio or video content; Articles 36.a and 36.d bind video-sharing platform providers established in Iceland or directing content to the Icelandic public.

• Video-sharing platforms: take appropriate measures to protect children from content, user-generated content and commercial communications that could harm their physical, mental or moral development.
• Establish and operate an age-verification system for users with regard to content that could harm a child's physical, mental or moral development, alongside a flagging system, a user-controlled parental-control system and media-literacy measures.
• Do not process a child's personal data collected under the parental-control or age-verification measures for commercial purposes such as direct marketing or profiling.
