EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD, Directive 2010/13/EU as amended by Directive 2018/1808 and Directive (EU) 2023/2586)
AVMSD - Content Standards and Protection of Minors

EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD, Directive 2010/13/EU as amended by Directive 2018/1808 and Directive (EU) 2023/2586) AVMSD-Art.6a: Protection of minors from harmful content (Article 6a)

Article 6a requires Member States to take appropriate measures to ensure that audiovisual media services provided by media service providers under their jurisdiction which may impair the physical, mental or moral development of minors are only made available in such a way as to ensure that minors will not normally hear or see them. The most harmful content (such as gratuitous violence and pornography) is to be subject to the strictest measures. Personal data of minors collected or otherwise generated by media service providers pursuant to Article 6a(2) cannot be processed for commercial purposes (direct marketing, profiling, behaviourally targeted advertising). Article 6a(3) requires audiovisual media services providers to provide sufficient information to viewers about content which may impair the physical, mental or moral development of minors, using a system describing the potentially harmful nature of the content.
