"Germany Wants To Fine Facebook And Twitter Up To €50 Million If They Fail To Delete Hate Speech"
buzzfeed.com
"Germany’s ministry of justice presented a bill on Tuesday that would see social media companies like Facebook and Twitter fined up to €50 million if they failed to swiftly delete illegal content, such as hate speech and defamatory fake news, from their platforms.
According to the terms of the bill, companies would have 24 hours to remove content once it has been reported, when it is clearly in breach of German law (such as its laws against Holocaust denial and incitement to hatred). In cases that are less clear cut, firms would have seven days to remove any content that is later determined to be illegal. This could include libel, hate crime, and threats.
Tuesday’s announcement comes after a warning last year from justice minister Heiko Maas that the government would monitor how social media companies were dealing with increasing hate crime as well as with deleting illegal content on their respective platforms – and would intervene if their response was deemed inadequate."
