8. This notification relates specifically to Articles 19 and 19a of the draft law reinforcing compliance with the principles of the Republic. Both articles are part of Chapter IV of the bill dedicated to combatting hate speech and illegal online content.

Article 19 establishes a mechanism for combatting “mirror sites” of sites already considered illegal, based on the intervention of the competent administrative authority. Said authority may request the blocking of access or the de-listing of an online public communication service in which the content is identical or equivalent to that of the service covered by the court ruling.

Article 19a establishes for certain operators of online platforms (social networks, search engines, etc.), whose audience exceeds a certain threshold, a series of obligations of means intended to prevent and combat the online dissemination of illegal content that is detrimental to human dignity. These obligations apply to operators, whether or not they are established on French territory.

The principle obligations established in Article 19a relate to (i) cooperation with judicial or administrative authorities, the retention of reported and withdrawn content, and the appointment of a point of contact; (ii) the transparency of the general conditions of use, the moderation system, the conditions for the suspension or termination of the account and the public reporting on their moderation policy; (iii) providing users with a mechanism for reporting illegal content and processing said reports promptly; (iv) the establishment of internal processes to combat the withdrawal of content and suspension of accounts; (v) the evaluation and mitigation of systemic risks associated with the service; (vi) an obligation to report periodically to the Conseil Supérieur de l’Audiovisuel (Higher Audio-visual Council) and (vii) possible formal notices and sanctions imposed by the same Conseil Supérieur de l’Audiovisuel in the event of non-compliance with these obligations.

9. The French authorities have been confronted with a series of attacks, the most recent of which (the Conflans-Sainte-Honorine attack) once again illustrated the major role played by the online dissemination, on certain major platforms, of content that incites violence and hatred. They consider that there is an urgent need to take action to make these operators responsible for the position they now occupy in the public sphere, taking into account the systemic risks that their operating models may entail. The logic of Article 19a is based on a system of obligations of means, which corresponds to that adopted by the draft European regulation “Digital Services Act”. The law is intended to be applied pending the entry into force of this European initiative and, in any event, no later than 31 December 2023.
