Article 24 forbids publishing audiovisual media service, radio programme, or electronic publication content likely to seriously harm a minor's physical, mental or moral development, and forbids publishing content that could harm that development at all unless the provider secures, through scheduling, age-verification tools, or another technical measure, that minors within the transmission's reach will not ordinarily see or hear it.
Article 96 requires a provider of a video-sharing platform under Croatian jurisdiction to take appropriate measures protecting minors from user-generated video and audiovisual commercial communications that could harm their physical, mental or moral development; for content causing the greatest harm, those measures include, among others, establishing and applying an age-verification system for platform users, alongside flagging and reporting mechanisms, functionality for users to declare whether their uploaded videos contain audiovisual commercial communications, and easy-to-use content-rating tools.
