Ekertv. Section 4/A, Minor-Endangering Content Warning and Filter-Software Identifier Duty

Section 4/A(1) provides that information published by a service provider, other than media content covered by the Press Freedom Act, that could seriously harm a minor's intellectual, spiritual, moral, or physical development, in particular by having violence or the direct, naturalistic depiction of sexuality as a defining element, may be published only together with a warning notice about the possible endangerment of minors, displayed before the content, and identifiers in the page's source code that indicate the content's category and are recognizable by filter software as defined in the Electronic Communications Act.

A Child Protection Internet Roundtable oversees compliance and supports the development and spread of filter software. The Electronic Communications Act separately requires an internet-access provider to compile and publish information about the availability of easily installable minor-protection software and to notify subscribers of it quarterly.
