Statute overview

About this statute

This chapter sets out general provisions. The law says it sets out more detailed rules on how constitutionally protected freedom of expression is exercised in mass communication, and that application of the law must not involve greater intrusions in communication than necessary. This section defines several terms used in the law, including public, network message, programme, publication, periodic publication, online publication, publication activity, and programme activity. This section says the Act applies to publishing and programme activities carried out in Finland, with narrower rules for some individual website operators and for activities limited to technical production, transmission, mediation, or distribution. The publisher of a periodical or online publication must appoint a responsible editor, and a person running programme activities must appoint one for each programme.
