Trade restrictions on the provision of certain internet services and online media services to or for the benefit of designated persons (meaning persons designated for the purposes of this provision, and not necessarily all designated persons subject to an asset freeze). These measures apply to the whole territory of the UK and to conduct by UK persons where that conduct is wholly or partly outside the UK. The amending regulations introduce new regulation 54A of the 2019 Regulations which provides for a number of restrictions in the form of trade in services sanctions. The new regulations require that: - Social media services, including video sharing platforms, must take reasonable steps to prevent content that is generated, uploaded to or shared by a designated person being encountered by UK-based user. - Internet access services, including fixed and wireless broadband providers, must take reasonable steps to prevent UK-based users from accessing websites provided by a designated person. This will likely take the form of URL blocking. - Application stores, including those on smartphones, must take reasonable steps to prevent UK-based users from downloading or otherwise accessing an application provided by a designated person. Regulation 5 of the 2019 Regulations confers on the Secretary of State the power to designate a person for the purposes of new regulation 54A. Failure to comply with a requirement imposed under new regulation 54A is a criminal offence. The amendment regulation also confers additional powers to the Office of Communications (“OFCOM”) (the UK’s regulatory and competition authority for broadcasting and telecommunications) in relation to these restrictions, including the power to: (i) a person to provide information and documents for the purposes of monitoring compliance, and (ii) impose civil monetary penalties of up to £1 million on a person who fails to comply with the new trade sanctions. The designated entities or individuals ("Designated Persons") can be found on the regularly updated UK Sanctions List with the tag "Internet Sanctions List". To date, only V-Novosti and Rossiya Segodnya are designated under those authorities. Посилання на оригінал
