In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Federal Office of Justice, a judicial agency, said that by publishing incomplete information regarding the complaints it had received, the web giant created a skewed picture. Under Germany’s network transparency law, social media platforms are required to report the number of complaints of illegal content they have received.
