What it makes you log
Logging duty
Article 82c requires a video-sharing platform provider to take appropriate measures to protect minors and the public and leaves the details to a Government ordinance; it names no age check, no record, no retention period and no access right. Article 82d, which this row does not cite, obliges the parties to a conciliation before the regulator to give information and produce documents; that is a procedural duty in a dispute and is not borrowed here. The Article states no territorial hook of its own.

What this law does
A video-sharing-platform provider, defined as a person who operates a video-sharing platform service, must take appropriate measures to protect minors from broadcasts, user-generated videos, and audiovisual commercial communication that could impair their physical, mental, or moral development.
It must also take appropriate measures to protect the general public from content whose dissemination is itself a criminal offense, including incitement to a terrorist act and child-pornography offenses under the Strafgesetzbuch. Disputes between users and a video-sharing-platform provider over compliance are mediated by Liechtenstein's regulatory authority (Art. 82d).
The Act's own enumerated list of administrative fines (Art. 93) does not separately name a breach of Art. 82c's protection duties themselves. The Act was passed by the Landtag on and published as LGBl. 2023 Nr. 448 on . It came into force only on , the day Liechtenstein's Kundmachung of EEA Joint Committee Decision No. 337/2022 fixed as its Inkrafttreten for the Principality (LGBl. 2025 Nr. 214); it transposes Article 28b of Directive 2010/13/EU.
