Germany: EUR 50mn fines for "hate speech and fake news"

"Hate crimes that are not effectively combated and prosecuted pose a great danger for the peaceful cohesion of a free, open and democratic society,” the statement said.

It added that executives of social media groups like Twitter and Facebook "also risk individual fines up to EUR 5 million in case of non-compliance."

The law must now be approved by the country's parliament.
