Germany Raids Homes of 36 People Accused of Hateful Postings Over Social Media - The New York Times

'Social media outlets would have 24 hours to delete “obviously criminal content” and a week to decide on more ambiguous cases. '

'Under the draft statute, networks must offer a readily available complaint process for posts that may amount to threats, hate speech, defamation, or incitement to commit a crime, among other offenses. '

'The law, approved by Germany’s cabinet in April, would be enforced with fines of up to $53 million. '

'According to a recent government study, Facebook deleted just 39 percent of illegal hate speech within 24 hours in January and February, despite signing a code of conduct in 2015 pledging to meet this standard. '

'Under German law, social media users are subject to a range of punishments for posting illegal material, including a prison sentence of up to five years for inciting racial hatred. '
