The Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (SIC) issued an order of mandatory compliance to journalist Daniel Samper Ospina, in order not to violate the rules on the protection of children’s data and adolescents, for having used one in which the minor children of President Iván Duque appeared.
In the order against the communicator, the SIC asks him:
“Refrain from processing personal data of minors (images) for marketing or advertising purposes without having obtained the prior, express and informed authorization of their legal representatives “.
“Publish all the CONCLUSIONS and the RESOLUTIONARY PART of the decision of this Authority on your official Twitter account and during the same term that the product was advertised (19 hours).

According to the SIC, despite the fact that Samper Ospina at the time publicly acknowledged his mistake through his Twitter account, “The illegality of their conduct and the competence of the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce to fulfill its functions do not disappear regarding the processing of personal data of children and adolescents (NNA) “.
The entity recalled that Samper has five business days following the date of notification of this administrative act to post to your official account Twitter @DanielSamperO all the conclusions of the resolution.
At the beginning of this year the journalist used the presidential photo in which the children (minors) of President Duque appeared to publicize a board game through his social network Twitter.
After that event, the Superindustry officially initiated a sanctioning administrative action against Samper Ospina for the use of an image with minors for advertising purposes.
The case against the communicator concerns public access images, in a news situation that was the subject of controversy, and were used in the framework of a general interest debate.
At the time, the Foundation for Press Freedom said: “It is particularly worrying that the SIC presumes that any content that can be associated with a person is considered a personal data on which it intends to exercise control and sanction “.
