- Do not distribute to children material justifying violence and cruelty, denying family values or fostering disrespect toward parents, containing obscene language or of a pornographic character, or identifying a child victim of an unlawful act.
- Restrict by age category material depicting cruelty or antisocial acts, inducing fear or panic, or depicting sexual relations between a man and a woman; the age-tiered classification in Article 17 governs it.

What this law does
Article 16 defines information harmful to children's health as an information product barred from distribution to children altogether, or one whose distribution to children of certain age categories is restricted.
The categories barred outright include material inciting self-harm or suicide, material capable of inducing children to use alcohol, tobacco, narcotic or psychotropic substances, gamble, engage in prostitution, vagrancy or begging, material justifying violence and cruelty, material denying family values or fostering disrespect toward parents, obscene language, and material of a pornographic character, alongside identifying information about a child victim of an unlawful act.
A second, narrower category restricted by age rather than barred outright covers depictions of cruelty or antisocial acts, material inducing fear or panic, and depictions of sexual relations between a man and a woman, which fall under Article 17's age-tiered classification instead.
