Article 26

advertising on online_platforms

(a)

that the information is an advertisement, including through prominent markings, which might follow standards pursuant to Article 44;

(b)

the natural or legal person on whose behalf the advertisement is presented;

(c)

the natural or legal person who paid for the advertisement if that person is different from the natural or legal person referred to in point (b);

(d)

meaningful information directly and easily accessible from the advertisement about the main parameters used to determine the recipient to whom the advertisement is presented and, where applicable, about how to change those parameters.

2.   Providers of online_platforms shall provide recipients of the service with a functionality to declare whether the content they provide is or contains commercial_communications.

When the recipient_of_the_service submits a declaration pursuant to this paragraph, the provider of online_platforms shall ensure that other recipients of the service can identify in a clear and unambiguous manner and in real time, including through prominent markings, which might follow standards pursuant to Article 44, that the content provided by the recipient_of_the_service is or contains commercial_communications, as described in that declaration.

3.   Providers of online_platforms shall not present advertisements to recipients of the service based on profiling as defined in Article 4, point (4), of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 using special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Article 35

Mitigation of risks

1.   Providers of very large online_platforms and of very large online_search_engines shall put in place reasonable, proportionate and effective mitigation measures, tailored to the specific systemic risks identified pursuant to Article 34, with particular consideration to the impacts of such measures on fundamental rights. Such measures may include, where applicable:

(a)

adapting the design, features or functioning of their services, including their online_interfaces;

(b)

adapting their terms_and_conditions and their enforcement;

(c)

adapting content_moderation processes, including the speed and quality of processing notices related to specific types of illegal_content and, where appropriate, the expeditious removal of, or the disabling of access to, the content notified, in particular in respect of illegal hate speech or cyber violence, as well as adapting any relevant decision-making processes and dedicated resources for content_moderation;

(d)

testing and adapting their algorithmic systems, including their recommender_systems;

(e)

adapting their advertising systems and adopting targeted measures aimed at limiting or adjusting the presentation of advertisements in association with the service they provide;

(f)

reinforcing the internal processes, resources, testing, documentation, or supervision of any of their activities in particular as regards detection of systemic risk;

(i)

(j)

taking targeted measures to protect the rights of the child, including age verification and parental control tools, tools aimed at helping minors signal abuse or obtain support, as appropriate;

(k)

ensuring that an item of information, whether it constitutes a generated or manipulated image, audio or video that appreciably resembles existing persons, objects, places or other entities or events and falsely appears to a person to be authentic or truthful is distinguishable through prominent markings when presented on their online_interfaces, and, in addition, providing an easy to use functionality which enables recipients of the service to indicate such information.

2.   The Board, in cooperation with the Commission, shall publish comprehensive reports, once a year. The reports shall include the following:

(a)

identification and assessment of the most prominent and recurrent systemic risks reported by providers of very large online_platforms and of very large online_search_engines or identified through other information sources, in particular those provided in compliance with Articles 39, 40 and 42;

(b)

best practices for providers of very large online_platforms and of very large online_search_engines to mitigate the systemic risks identified.

Those reports shall present systemic risks broken down by the Member States in which they occurred and in the Union as a whole, as applicable.

3.   The Commission, in cooperation with the Digital Services Coordinators, may issue guidelines on the application of paragraph 1 in relation to specific risks, in particular to present best practices and recommend possible measures, having due regard to the possible consequences of the measures on fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter of all parties involved. When preparing those guidelines the Commission shall organise public consultations.

Article 39

Additional online advertising transparency

1.   Providers of very large online_platforms or of very large online_search_engines that present advertisements on their online_interfaces shall compile and make publicly available in a specific section of their online_interface, through a searchable and reliable tool that allows multicriteria queries and through application programming interfaces, a repository containing the information referred to in paragraph 2, for the entire period during which they present an advertisement and until one year after the advertisement was presented for the last time on their online_interfaces. They shall ensure that the repository does not contain any personal data of the recipients of the service to whom the advertisement was or could have been presented, and shall make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information is accurate and complete.

2.   The repository shall include at least all of the following information:

(a)

the content of the advertisement, including the name of the product, service or brand and the subject matter of the advertisement;

(b)

the natural or legal person on whose behalf the advertisement is presented;

(c)

the natural or legal person who paid for the advertisement, if that person is different from the person referred to in point (b);

(d)

the period during which the advertisement was presented;

(e)

whether the advertisement was intended to be presented specifically to one or more particular groups of recipients of the service and if so, the main parameters used for that purpose including where applicable the main parameters used to exclude one or more of such particular groups;

(f)

the commercial_communications published on the very large online_platforms and identified pursuant to Article 26(2);

(g)

the total number of recipients of the service reached and, where applicable, aggregate numbers broken down by Member State for the group or groups of recipients that the advertisement specifically targeted.

3.   As regards paragraph 2, points (a), (b) and (c), where a provider of very large online_platform or of very large online_search_engine has removed or disabled access to a specific advertisement based on alleged illegality or incompatibility with its terms_and_conditions, the repository shall not include the information referred to in those points. In such case, the repository shall include, for the specific advertisement concerned, the information referred to in Article 17(3), points (a) to (e), or Article 9(2), point (a)(i), as applicable.

The Commission may, after consultation of the Board, the relevant vetted researchers referred to in Article 40 and the public, issue guidelines on the structure, organisation and functionalities of the repositories referred to in this Article.

Codes of conduct for online advertising

1.   The Commission shall encourage and facilitate the drawing up of voluntary codes of conduct at Union level by providers of online_platforms and other relevant service providers, such as providers of online advertising intermediary_services, other actors involved in the programmatic advertising value chain, or organisations representing recipients of the service and civil society organisations or relevant authorities to contribute to further transparency for actors in the online advertising value chain beyond the requirements of Articles 26 and 39.
