Criticism

  • Freedom of speech?

 Compliance Rules only apply for content punishable under German penal code

  • Overblocking?

 Fines only for systemic mismanangement and culpable violations  Not in interest of networks  Networks can delegate tricky cases to a co-regulated institution („regulierte Selbstregulierung“)
