I move amendment No. 207:

In page 117, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following: “(aa) where the content appears to the Commission to fall within the category of age-inappropriate online content defined in section 139D, requiring the provider to restrict access to the content to persons who have attained the age of 18 years, or”.

This amendment adds another paragraph to the list of scenarios where "in the course of an investigation" a content limitation notice may be issued. This paragraph would specify that "where the content appears to the Commission to fall within the category of age-inappropriate online content" the provider can be required "to restrict access to the content". The Bill as it stands contains a provision which specifies that the commission may issue a content limitation notice in respect of harmful content. To this, I am trying to add that the commission should also be able to issue a content limitation notice in situations where there are concerns regarding age-inappropriate content.
