Who is behind this website?
- aviraldg 7y ago> No to Chrome is an alliance led by Berlin based Eduardo Smith and UK based James Mullarkey.
- qxnqd 7y agoBerlin based? Where's the impressum then?
- tyingq 7y agoIsn't that only required for a commercial website?
- maze-le 7y agoTechnically yes, but... In front of several german courts simple web blogs and other (definitely) non-commercial projects have lost their cases against "competitors" (usually trigger happy shyster lawyers that see a quick way to make easy money). The wording of the law states that every publication platfrom that operates "Geschäftsmäßig" (like a business) is liable to have an imprint. The courts have defined the word "Geschäftsmäßig" as meaning regularly -- so it is only important how regularly you post, not if you make money with it or not.
