a case, the Administration could either issue an administrative order to cease the private activity, which is being carried out without authorization (thus re-establishing the violated legality), or initiate the corresponding sanctioning procedure. B) What liability can platforms be held liable for? It has become commonplace to demand that the registration number of these dwellings in the Autonomous Tourism Register appear in all advertising and marketing actions through virtual intermediation channels, in a clear reference to the different collaborative platforms, implicitly -or not- ordering them to disseminate the offers of dwellings that do not have it. In this regard, it has been common for different regional administrations, in the application of their tourism regulations, to order these platforms to cease offering tourist accommodation that does not have a registration number in the Tourism Register. Also, in the face of such non-compliance, they have proceeded to impose significant penalties. Barcelona City Council, in the belief that platforms should take responsibility for the offers they publish, has carried out an increase in inspections in recent years, resulting in the imposition of the appropriate sanction. All the collaborative accommodation platforms - except Airbnb - reached an agreement with the City Council not to publish accommodation offers that did not have a registration number. With Airbnb, an agreement was reached - after the imposition of heavy fines - that any flats advertised that do not have a license and that have been detected by the City Council, the platform will have to expel them from the license. In this situation, are the platforms obliged to filter the ads beforehand or only to remove, upon request, those that do not comply with the regional provisions? In the opinion of the City Council, this would be an incomplete solution, as it should be the platform that is responsible for ensuring that the properties that are advertised have a license and not depend on the proactive attitude of the Administration
