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 an audiovisual media service in Slovenia must classify content that could harm a child's physical, mental or moral development into one of five bands, the most restrictive being adult content covering unjustified violence and pornography. Adult content on a non-linear service must sit behind a default-locked, PIN-code-equivalent technical control that only an adult who understands its purpose can unlock. Any personal data of a child collected through that control may be processed only to verify the user's age.
