🥲 Germany Cracks Down on Telegram //
German Ministry of Justice has looked into Telegram’s activities in Germany and found out that… there has been no activity at all.
No authorized representative of Telegram has ever set foot in the European country, so there has never existed a mechanism for handling complaints about illegal content, as well as a direct channel of information.
The German authorities considered this to be a violation of the Social Media Measures Act. The Ministry states that Telegram has ignored its requirements. A law firm representing Telegram protested such claims.
As a result, Telegram has been fined 4.25 million euros for not providing legally appropriate reporting channels in 2021 and 2022. The messenger was also fined 875,000 euros for the absence of an authorized representative.
