Media Rights, a nongovernmental organization, has released an assessment of the Communications Commission's 2020 performance. The key findings say the agency imposed a record number of sanctions based on the regulation last year.
According to the study, the Commission imposed liability 260 times on the entities it regulates: 157 sanctions in electronic communications and 130 in broadcasting.
In 2020, the Communications Commission ruled against Mtavari Channel the most among broadcasters.
"By 2020, the Commission applied a single highest penalty of GEL 58,061.76 against" the critical media Mtavari channel ". In 2020," the Mtavari channel "was the most frequently sanctioned broadcaster," the study said.
At the same time, the organization notes that the Communications Commission presents changes to Georgia's Electronic Communications Law only in a positive context. The "Formula" fine set a dangerous precedent for the control of the broadcaster's content.
