What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

A provider of a video-sharing platform service under Danish jurisdiction must register with Radio- og tv-naevnet. The Culture Minister sets rules requiring such a provider to take appropriate measures to protect minors generally from harmful content.

The Culture Minister separately sets rules requiring such a provider to take appropriate measures to protect minors and the public from content that incites violence, hatred or terrorism, or that depicts child sexual abuse material within the meaning of Straffeloven section 235, racism or xenophobia, and bars a provider from processing a minor's personal data, collected or generated through its age or parental-control tools, for commercial purposes.

Radio- og tv-naevnet enforces the registration duty and these rules, and may order a provider to suspend its activity for a gross or repeated violation.
