Corrective Measures and Reporting Requests for Digital Platforms

A public authority determined that some covered operators had not fully disclosed the required content under laws governing digital platform disclosures.

The response framework cited corrective measures and reporting based on Articles 28, 30, Paragraph 1, and 29.

The system aims to ensure explanations to users and enable external verification. Operators found to have insufficient disclosures are required to respond through legally compliant corrections and reporting.

Covered operators are required to check the disclosure items prescribed by law and correct any deficiencies to ensure explanations to users.

The public authority requested that covered operators report their corrections, implementation details, republishing status, implementation plans, and progress.

Google LLC and X Corp. were required to review their prior fiscal year's disclosures and make the corrections necessary to align them with the purpose of Article 28. Once the corrections are complete, they must promptly report the corrected sections, implementation details, and post-correction disclosures.

If Google LLC and X Corp. cannot immediately correct their prior fiscal year's disclosures for technical reasons, they must state those reasons, promptly take the necessary measures, and ensure that all items under Article 28 can be disclosed in the next fiscal year's disclosure by May 31, 2027. They were also required to establish a state in which all items can be disclosed in disclosures for subsequent fiscal years.

Google LLC and X Corp. must submit reports specifically describing the measures necessary to ensure disclosure of all items in disclosures for the next fiscal year and thereafter, along with the implementation schedule for each measure.

Google LLC and X Corp. must submit their first report on corrective-action progress by October 30, 2026, and report thereafter in Japanese every 3 months. They were also required to report subsequent progress through April 30, 2027, in the same format so that disclosures for the next fiscal year and thereafter are implemented reliably.

Recommendations and reporting documents addressed to Google LLC and X Corp. were presented as materials for individual responses. Corrective measures to amend prior fiscal year's disclosures were also indicated for Meta Platforms, Inc. and other operators.
