A video-sharing platform provider within Slovenian jurisdiction must adopt appropriate measures to protect children from content that could harm their physical, mental or moral development. The statute names an age-verification system for platform users and a user-managed parental-control system as example measures, alongside a published complaint-handling process for users. Data collected under these measures may be processed only to verify a user's age.
