Social media will be fined 5 million euros.

The German parliament approved Friday for a plan to penalize social media networks by 5 million Euros. If the organizations cannot properly move the hateful posts, then this fine will be penalized. But there is also concern that the law can create limitation.

Reuters reports that Germany is one of the world's most stringent laws on defamation, criminal intimidation and the threat of violence. The provision of life imprisonment has been made in the case of killing or spreading hatred against minorities. But in this law it is mentioned that very few cases have been tried in the law.

Under this law, social media has been given 24 hours to remove or block criminal content, and some obscure content has been asked to take action within a week. In addition, the person who complained about the content has been obliged to tell about how the action is being taken against him.

If any social media fails to take this step, the company can face up to five million euros fine. Even the main representative of the company in Germany could be fined up to 5 million euros fine.

German politicians take this issue seriously, as the spread of false news about racism and immigrants; can turn out like the citizens of national elections in the national elections held on September 24 this year.

On the other hand, the organizations representing digital organizations, consumers and journalists, the government is bringing legislation through the parliament that can inhibit Multi bank.

In response to this, the government has reduced the restrictions of the system by keeping email and messenger services out of it. It also created opportunities for joint monitoring to decide which content to be removed.

It is also said in the Reuters report that it is clear that once this act is done in violation of this law it will not be fined. But it can be fined only if an organization rejects this law or establishes correct complaint management.
