Germany Threatens Twitter With €50m Fine For Failing To Tackle Illegal Content
While no fines have yet been issued under the act, the threat of action has been enough to force companies to act in the past.
Twitter is also already facing a lawsuit in Germany over its content moderation practices, brought by digital rights campaign group HateAid and the European Union of Jewish Students . They are claiming that the company has failed to remove six pieces of content reported for antisemitism, and which trivialize or deny the Holocaust. Twitter's refusal to remove all the content, they say, violates its own policies on antisemitism.
The BfJ says it is giving Twitter the chance to respond to its complaints and will consider its response. However, if it comes to the conclusion that the allegations are justified, it will apply to the Bonn District Court to start proceedings. Failure to comply with the rules can result in fines of up to €50 million.
