Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media – JMStV

Title (original language): Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag – JMStV

The German Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Human Dignity and the Protection of Minors in Broadcasting and in Telemedia (JMStV) came into force as an interstate treaty between the German federal states on 1 April 2003. It defines the standards of protection for broadcasting and telemedia. On 7 November 2020, amendments to the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media (JMStV) came into force. Main elements of the modification of the JMStV are new regulations for video-sharing services such as YouTube, announcement and labelling obligations for programmes distributed in telemedia as well as requirements for advertising of unhealthy food in the environment of children’s programmes.
