Article 32 of Law 4779/2021 assigns the National Council for Radio and Television (ESR) to apply AVMSD Article 28b to video-sharing platforms and social networks established in Greece whose video content is functionally separable from the rest of the service.
The duty requires appropriate and feasible measures protecting minors from content that may impair their development, and separately protects the wider public from content inciting violence or hatred or amounting to child pornography, terrorism, xenophobia, or racism offences under EU law.
A covered provider must submit data to ESR annually under Article 32 paragraph 10, covering complaints received and resolved by category, out-of-court settlements, and the parental-control or age-verification systems and media-literacy measures adopted. ESR's competence reaches only providers established in Greece. ESR may impose sanctions for noncompliance under Article 36 of the same Law.
