German official wants $53M fines for hate speech posts
German official wants $53M fines for hate speech posts
December 15, 2019 Justice Minister Heiko Maas, a member of the centre-left Social Democratic Party, upper the pressure on Facebook and Twitter by proposing huge financial penalties for failing to police their sites. Technology companies have come under increased scrutiny worldwide over how they police their sites amid the rise of fake news, possible terrorist propaganda and far-right rhetoric online. The announcement follows the publication of the results of a year-long study that showed Facebook and Twitter failed to meet the German target of removing 70 per cent of hate speech within 24 hours of being alerted to its presence. https://livingstonledger.com/german-...-speech-posts/ |
