Does a "Gegendarstellung" not require a court order?
I would very much love if the media outlets agree on self imposed "best practices for corrections".
Which in the end should be a benefit for those complying because they can advertise it and be more believable
- hwh 9y agoThe right exists without a court order (and I'd wager it is more often granted than not by established outfits, with notable exceptions like tabloids - like Germany's largest newspaper Bild - and the yellow press). However, some will have to resort to go to the courts if the publishing entity does not comply. Which will take some effort, it being a civil rights matter - e.g. paying court fees up front (and claiming the money back in the same suit, leaving the applicant with the risk of an opposing party with no money).
