The Slovak Spectator: Which legislative areas or laws need further revision and why?
Special levy on retail chains is the most controversial law of 2018 Read more Michal Kohn: One area that is missing complex and clear legislation is digital media and social networks. With their increasing importance, which can exceed the impact of traditional communication platforms (like radio, TV and print media) soon, it is necessary to think about setting at least the basic framework for their operation.
Although anonymity and missing regulations have been a driving force for the quick development of the online world for years, providers of these platforms currently use these aspects to avoid responsibility or paying taxes, observing legal duties or to spread fake news.
