  • 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.
  • Do not distribute content, including commercial audio or video communications, that could have a harmful effect on a child's physical, mental or moral development, in particular pornography or gratuitous violence; linear programming has exceptions for watershed hours, technical restriction and news content.
  • 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.
