(12) In the digital environment in particular, the competent authorities should be able to stop infringements quickly and effectively, notably where the trader selling goods or services conceals its identity or relocates within the Union or to a third country to avoid enforcement. In cases where there is a risk of serious and irreparable harm to consumers, the competent authorities should to be able to adopt interim measures to prevent such harm or reduce it, including, where necessary, the suspension of a website, domain or a similar digital site, service or account. Furthermore, the competent authorities should have the power to take down or have a third party service provider take down a website, domain or a similar digital site, service or accountrequesting hosting service providers to remove content, suspend a website, service or account, or requesting a domain registry or registrar to put a fully qualified domain name on hold for a specific period of time. Furthermore, the competent authorities should have the power to request a hosting service provider to remove content, close down a website, service or account or a part of it, or request a registry or registrar to delete a fully qualified domain name. However, measures to remove content can be harmful to freedom of speech and information, but also ineffective as in the fast-moving digital environment content reappears as quickly as it was removed. Therefore measures taken to restrict the online distribution, or otherwise making available, of content to the public should always be in line with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, be limited to what is necessary and proportionate and executed on the basis of a prior judicial authorization,
