Jugendschutzgesetz (JuSchG, Youth Protection Act), Section 24a, Vorsorgemassnahmen (provider precautionary measures)
Requires providers of platforms accessible to children and teenagers to implement structural precautions: an accessible reporting and remedy procedure, easily findable references to independent counselling and help services, technical tools for parental control, and default settings that limit usage risk with regard to age.
Enforced by the BzKJ, the federal agency created by the same 2021 amendment that also replaced the former Bundespruefstelle fuer jugendgefaehrdende Medien (BPjM, Federal Review Board for Media Harmful to Young Persons).
