Austria’s Communications Platforms Act (KoPl-G) provides for a multi-stage procedure for content moderation, put-back rights and a stronger cooperation between platforms and supervisory authority. It is in some respects better than Germany’s NetzDG. There remain, however, a number of flaws. In remedying them, Austria could extend its reporting obligations to include "soft" content moderation measures, algorithmic tools, and advertising rules.
