Shield of Protection for Minors - The Radio Television Authority Takes Over Online Content Supervision

The Radio Television and Digital Services Authority is taking on new responsibilities in the field of digital services, focusing on the protection of minors, transparency and legality, and cooperation. The Authority will act as the National Coordinator of Digital Services, integrating into the European system for supervising the digital ecosystem. The goal is not direct intervention in content, but to check the compliance of digital services with EU law. The protection of minors is strengthened with a preventative approach, requiring platforms to incorporate safety principles, have simple terms of use, reliable age verification systems and safe default settings. In addition, restrictions are placed on misleading commercial practices and tools are provided to parents for the safety of their children.
