Germany said today, Monday, that it would fine the people behind the “Telegram” messaging app 5. 125 million euros ($ 5 million), “for not conforming to German law.”
The Federal Justice Office stated that the “Telegram FS-LLC” did not establish a legal means to report illegal content or specify a entity in Germany to receive official communications “, as both are the conditions imposed by German laws that regulate the work of large Internet platforms.
German officials indicated that they “have repeatedly failed in their attempts to send documents to the headquarters of the Telegram company in Dubai,” despite the support provided by the authorities in the Emirates.
According to the Federal Justice Office, a law firm in Germany later clarified that it represented “Telegram,” but this was insufficient to stop the imposition of fines.
A $5 million fine is levied against the “Telegram” application by Germany.
