Lithuania has adopted the rules from Article 28b (1) of the European Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) into its national law through the Law on the Provision of Information to the Public (updated May 12, 2022).
As a result, the Radio and TV Commission of Lithuania (RTCL) has created guidelines for video-sharing platforms to help protect minors from harmful content.
According to these guidelines, service providers must follow the protective measures outlined in both the Law on the Provision of Information to the Public and the Law on the Protection of Minors from the Negative Effects of Public Information.
Key requirements:
Mandatory age verification: Adult websites must implement systems to verify that users are at least 18 years old.
Biometric methods: Utilizing biometric facial age estimation to confirm users' ages.
Data protection compliance: Ensuring that any age verification processes adhere to data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
