Cases of child pornography should be reported to the security authorities in the future.

According to information frommorgenpost.de, the Federal Ministry of Justice and the Federal Ministry agreed that operators of social networks will in future be obliged to report cases of child pornography to the security authorities.

Mandatory reporting for social networks

A draft law to combat right-wing extremism and hate crime is currently being drawn up. This draft provides for reporting requirements for social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

The revised Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG) ​​is intended to enforce a reporting requirement for criminal content such as incitement to hatred or disruption of public peace. It is intended here that the IP address and port numbers are passed on to the Federal Criminal Police Office.

IP addresses for child pornography content should be collected

In addition to the criminally relevant content, the IP address should also be transmitted to the BKA. This must be done immediately as soon as the operators of social networks receive a report about child pornographic content such as distribution or making accessible.
