Child and Juvenile Welfare and Rights Protection Act, internet content protection dutiesin force5 lines

Child and Juvenile Welfare and Rights Protection Act (兒童及少年福利與權益保障法), Arts. 2, 46, 46-1, 94 · Read the law's page

  • Applies to an internet platform provider, defined broadly as any provider of internet platform services, including providing storage space, building websites to provide information or value-added services, or providing web-linking services (Article 46).
  • Establish self-regulatory norms and adopt clear, feasible protection measures against content harmful to a child's or juvenile's (a person under eighteen) physical and mental health (Article 46).
  • When the competent authority for the relevant business notifies you that your content is harmful or that your protection measures are inadequate, restrict a child's or juvenile's access or browsing, or remove the content beforehand (Article 94).
  • Do not disseminate or transmit content harmful to a child's or juvenile's physical and mental health on the internet, in a way that makes it accessible to them, without taking clear, feasible protection measures or cooperating with a platform's protection mechanisms; this binds anyone, not only platforms (Article 46-1).
  • You need not use a specific age-verification method: the Act does not prescribe one, leaving the content-classification system, filtering software and self-regulatory norms to be developed under the competent authority's protection mechanisms.
