Part 7ATake-down notices for objectionable online publications
119DContents of take-down notices
A take-down notice must—
- contain a description of the relevant online publication; and
- identify the URL or other unique identifier of the online publication; and
- require the online content host to remove, or prevent access by the public to, the online publication as soon as is reasonably practicable after receipt of the notice and no later than the time and date specified in the notice (the required period); and
- inform the online content host of the right of review under section 119J; and
- contain other information required by regulations made under section 149(1)(ab) (if any).
When deciding on the length of the required period in a particular case, an Inspector must consider what period is likely to be reasonably practicable for the online content host to comply with the notice.
A take-down notice may also require an online content host to preserve a copy of the relevant online publication for the purpose of an investigation or proceedings.
A take-down notice may contain other information that an Inspector considers is useful or appropriate.
