Tagesspiegel: After one year with NetzDG: The Green party and think tanks demand improvements (Germany)

Body

This article in the Germany's Tagesspiegel, describes efforts to improve Germany's Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG), which came into force about one year ago. "A recently published report by the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) and the Counter Extremism Project takes stock after a year. So far, the law has neither managed to tackle hate speech and extremism on social media platforms, nor led to over-blocking. Since NetzDG is a key test of the EU’s efforts against online extremism and other illegal content, the authors of the report offer some recommendations for action."
