In October, a new law enters force in Germany that imposes huge fines on social networks if they don't delete illegal content including hate speech. The law, called Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz, obliges the biggest social networks - those with more than two million German users - to take down 'blatantly illegal' hate speech within 24 hours of it being reported. Failure to meet the deadline could lead to fines of up to €50 million. Critics argue the short timeframe coupled with the potentially large fines will lead social networks to be overly cautious and delete huge amounts of content.
