tekstijätelaki

Tekstijätelaki, or the Text Waste Act, is a Finnish legislative framework aimed at reducing unnecessary or low-quality written content. It addresses the growing concern about information overload and the proliferation of superficial or redundant texts in various media. The law seeks to promote clarity, conciseness, and factual accuracy in written communication.

The primary objective of the Text Waste Act is to improve the overall quality of information available to the public. This includes encouraging authors and publishers to be more mindful of the purpose and impact of their texts. The act does not aim to censor or restrict creative expression but rather to foster a more responsible approach to writing.

Enforcement of the Text Waste Act is managed by relevant authorities who may issue guidelines and recommendations. Penalties for non-compliance can range from warnings to fines, depending on the severity and nature of the textual violation. The act also encourages self-regulation within industries that produce large volumes of text, such as marketing and journalism. Public awareness campaigns are often part of the implementation strategy to educate both creators and consumers of text about the principles of the law.
