The Superior Audiovisual Council (CSA) and the High Authority for the Dissemination of Works and the Protection of Rights on the Internet (Hadopi) no longer exist since January 1, 2022, the date of their merger under the name Arcom. The Audiovisual and Digital Communication Regulatory Authority is thus developing new skills.
The CSA is over. The Hadopi too. The Superior Audiovisual Council (CSA) and the High Authority for the Dissemination of Works and the Protection of Rights on the Internet (Hadopi) no longer exist as such since January 1, 2022. On that date, the two bodies audiovisual and digital regulation have merged to form one. They thus give birth to Arcom, the regulatory authority for audiovisual and digital communication. The objective of this merger is to create a new, more powerful policeman, both for audiovisual and digital.
Arcom continues to regulate traditional media, but this merger also brings several new features. First, regulation of social networks: Facebook, Instagram or Twitter will be more closely monitored on their means put in place to fight against fake news and hateful content. On the web, greater means of combating illegal streaming and piracy will be developed.
An opinion awaited on the proposed merger of TF1 and M6
There will also be new controls for Amazon Prime, Netflix, Apple TV, and Disney +. Arcom will verify that these American platforms do invest a proportion of their turnover in the French system for financing audiovisual and cinematographic works.
Arcom will also have to decide on an explosive issue: the merger of TF1 and M6. The file has already been submitted to the Competition Authority. But Arcom will have to give its opinion by March 31. At the head of this new PAF and digital policeman, we find Roch-Olivier Maistre, the now ex-president of the Superior Audiovisual Council.
