Description
Federal Council proposes Amendments to Film Act including investment in local content obligation
The Swiss Federal Council proposes amendments to the Swiss Film Act, suggesting an obligation to invest in local content is introduced for those platforms. The obligation applies to companies that bear editorial responsibility in the selection of their content, but not to platforms that only provide user-generated content. Hence, the obligation would not apply to pure video-sharing platforms.
