DSA: Details of Reporting to the Federal Criminal Police Office
Rapidly Rising on Kurzmeldungen (hib)
The Digital Services Act (DSA) has introduced new reporting obligations for providers of online platforms and search engines. These obligations require them to report certain types of illegal content to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA).
The details of these reporting obligations are as follows:
- Content that is illegal under German law: Platforms and search engines must report content that is clearly illegal under German law, such as child sexual abuse material, hate speech, and incitement to violence.
- Content that is potentially illegal: Platforms and search engines must also report content that is potentially illegal, but requires further investigation to determine whether it is actually illegal. This includes content that may violate German laws on copyright, defamation, and data protection.
- Reports must be made within 24 hours: Platforms and search engines must make reports within 24 hours of becoming aware of the illegal or potentially illegal content.
- Reports must include certain information: Reports must include the following information:
- The URL of the content
- The date and time the content was discovered
- The type of content
- The reason for reporting the content
The BKA will then investigate the reported content and take appropriate action, such as ordering the platform or search engine to remove the content or initiating criminal proceedings.
The DSA’s reporting obligations are intended to help the BKA to identify and remove illegal content from the internet more quickly and effectively. They are also intended to deter platforms and search engines from hosting illegal content.
