Dr. Leo Pekkala:

So far, there are not any online platforms that would meet the definition of the audiovisual and media services directive located in Finland. The government organisation responsible for defining or finding out legally whether we do have, and if one day we would have, such a service located in Finland is the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, which is under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, whereas we are under the Ministry of Education and Culture. At the moment we do not have any platforms.

In terms of what the platforms do there is very little jurisdiction except of course about the kinds of things that are under the audiovisual media services, AVMS, directive or under criminal law. Platforms must remove content if it is illegal. Otherwise, we are on the outskirts of that, legally, at the moment. I hope I helped.
