New rules for combating illegal online content and oversight of digital platforms
This law introduces a fast-track procedure for blocking illegal online content (e.g., fraud, child sexual abuse material) and restoring wrongfully removed materials. It establishes new authorities to supervise large online platforms and search engines, granting them the power to impose significant financial penalties. For citizens, this means new tools to report unlawful materials and appeal decisions made by internet services.
Key points
Fast-track content blocking: A prosecutor, the Police, customs authorities, or a user can request an order to block access to illegal content (e.g., fraud, child exploitation material).
Protection against censorship: A user can request the restoration of their content if it was unjustly removed by an internet platform.
New internet supervisor: The President of the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE) becomes the main Digital Services Coordinator, overseeing compliance with the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).
High fines for platforms: For violating obligations (e.g., lack of moderation, non-transparent terms), platforms face fines of up to 6% of their global annual turnover.
Registry of banned domains: A non-public registry of websites will be created, access to which will be blocked by internet providers based on an administrative decision.
Certified flaggers and researchers: The law sets rules for granting the status of a trusted flagger for reporting illegal content and a vetted researcher who can gain access to platform data.
