What Article 172⁹ actually prohibits
Article 172⁹ of the Georgian Code of Administrative Offences deals with newspapers, magazines and other print media publications that contain information harmful to a child. It prohibits three things done in relation to such a publication: selling it to a child, giving it to a child as a gift, and making it accessible to a child in any other form. All three are treated identically. The law does not require that money changed hands, and it does not require that anyone physically handed the publication over. The third limb, making a publication accessible in another form, is by far the broadest of the three, and in practice it is where most disputes sit. The article itself does not define what counts as making a publication accessible, so that question is settled on the facts of each individual case rather than by a rule you can look up in the text.
