"Germany took on-board these issues and ploughed ahead with its law, known as 'NetzDG', which came into force in January last year. The law creates a process by which people can complain to the companies about hate speech online. A study by the Europe-based Counter Extremism Project last November found that Twitter and Google were rejecting around 80 per cent of complaints. The report found other flaws in the law. Extremist videos can be re-uploaded, and this was happening with 91 per cent of ISIS videos. But the tech companies had won a campaign to ensure NetzDG didn’t capture re-uploads, so that each re-upload must be treated as an entirely new case."
