Audiovisual Media Services Bill tabled, tougher rules on big YouTuber commerce
South Korea has formally tabled an Audiovisual Media Services Bill to regulate large YouTubers, broadening the scope from a draft released earlier this year by a parliamentary task force. The bill sets reporting requirements based on both subscriber counts and income, with thresholds to be set by presidential decree. It also adds a cooperation duty for platforms. It expands restrictions to ban sales of certain items and includes fines of up to 30 million won for violations.
