“We keep word! The NetzDG has to go away, “writes AfD Bundestag MEP Joana Cotar on Twitter. What she means was in Bundestag in early afternoon. There Network Enforcement Act was on agenda of Bundestag. Three draft laws are under discussion. However, aim of initiatives of AfD, left and FDP is not always exactly same. While AfD is aiming at a general repeal of law, and is almost on a line with FDP, which wants to abolish law as well as one aspect, Left faction wants to stick to a whole series of points.
“Today’s debate I would have wished for in summer before hasty adoption of law,” said Greens Bundestag MEP Renate Kuenast to Handelsblatt. “This complex problem requires differentiated answers.” It is noteworthy that Liberals seem to be hoping to be able to agree to ir ideas by broadening ir bill rar than just NetzDG. Therefore, y also call ir initiative civil Rights Strengning Act. The AfD is talking about a “draft law repealing Network Enforcement Act” and on left of “draft law to partially repeal Network Enforcement Act”.
Stock data also away
With its project, FDP also wants to achieve final suspension of controversial data retention. Knowing that in failed Jamaica probing, Greens also insisted on replacing principle of unprecedented data storage with an event-based approach. It is also an open secret that SPD does not fully support retention of data.

In vote on new investigation tool two years ago, many SPD deputies voted with no. Among dissidents were SPD network politician and today’s general secretary of party Lars Klingbeil as well as spokesperson for SPD left in Bundestag, Matthias Miersch. Even outside Bundestag, re is a great pressure to come to a change on this issue and in anti-hate law. Numerous constitutional complaints are pending against data retention. The FDP, several greens politicians, civil rights activists and data protectionists have sued. And also against NetzDG has formed a wide out-of-Parliament front.
The FDP refore also proposes to initiate a “turnaround in domestic and legal policy”, as draft law states. The fundamental rights of citizens must be respected again. This is case in dealing with crime and terrorism, as well as in course of action against hate on internet. Therefore, it is necessary to start this turnaround with “Getting Started”. “This includes abolition of unconstitutional data retention as well as constitutional law at least dubious.”
Parts of NetzDG will not apply until January
The NetzDG was entered into force on 1 October with a transitional arrangement. It obliges online networks to deal with complaints about hate crime and or criminal content more extensively and to delete m more quickly. The most hotly debated regulations of Act, such as 24-hour or one-week deadlines for deletion of criminal content, take place only after a transitional arrangement on 1 January. Then users should also be able to complain to Federal Office of Justice if a complaint has not been properly processed in ir view.
The FDP is also expected to act now, because it has aroused high expectations in Bundestag election campaign, but also in Jamaica probing in economy. In case of a Jamaica coalition, it would only be consistent to take back NetzDG and openly and transparently develop new strategies for dealing with illegal content on net at a round table, head of Association of Internet Industry Eco, Oliver Süme, Explained at an early stage. He recalled that Greens and FDP had expressed mselves before election “very critical” to law and demanded improvements. Liberal boss Lindner has even announced a lawsuit.
