Negociació d’un nou marc normatiu per a les plataformes audiovisuals d’ús compartit: propostes per a un model de governança responsable de la llibertat d’expressió en línia

Krisztina Rozgonyi

Resum


Hi ha un impuls polític inèdit i progressiu en la política europea de mitjans audiovisuals. Es tracta de la implementació de noves regles sobre els proveïdors de plataformes audiovisuals de compartició de vídeos (VSP) pel que fa a la protecció dels menors contra contingut nociu i de tota la ciutadania contra la incitació a la violència i l’odi. Tanmateix, l’aplicació del principi del país d’origen, el principi bàsic de la Directiva de serveis de comunicació audiovisual i la regulació de mitjans audiovisuals a tota la Unió Europea, interferirà intrínsecament amb l’objectiu polític declarat d’equilibrar el terreny de joc davant les plataformes VSP. Aquest article avalua les conseqüències potencials d’aquestes disfuncions normatives en el context de la regulació eficaç dels discursos de l’odi a tot Europa. Argumenta que la coregulació del model de governança responsable podria abordar i mitigar la pèrdua de diversitat normativa i esbossa un pla per aconseguir-ho. Està en joc la (major) fragmentació d’Internet. Per tant, és important i urgent trobar respostes normatives adequades a Europa per garantir mercats audiovisuals pluralistes i diversos.
