Real Decreto 444/2024 (LGCA — Ley General de la Comunicación Audiovisual)
CNMC · 2024
Spain's Royal Decree 444/2024 (effective 2 May 2024) requires Spanish-language disclosure of every commercial collaboration. The regulator (CNMC) has explicitly stated that English hashtags like #ad or #sponsored are not sufficient. "Usuarios de especial relevancia" are treated as regulated audiovisual service providers when they cumulatively meet: (1) ≥€300,000 gross annual revenue from audiovisual activity, (2) ≥1,000,000 followers on a single video-sharing platform OR ≥2,000,000 followers across all platforms combined, and (3) ≥24 videos published in the previous year.
