In Germany it's much harder to get money via lawsuit (vs the US), so that's kinda normal. If Twitter doesn't comply, the Staatsanwaltschaft will open a new lawsuit which will have a much bigger fine.
but yeah - 6k lawyers fee sounds like a joke, I guess it was a slam dunk case with very little time on the clock for the lawyers.
- juancn 2y agoThey just need to delay until after the elections and then pay the fine.
- croemer 2y agoNo, not Staatsanwaltschaft (public prosecutor). This is a private suit. Plaintiff can get some sort of injunction next, I presume.
- microtonal 2y agoCouldn't the violation of the DSA also lead to prosecution at the EU level?
- croemer 2y agoYep, it does! See https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_3761 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_24_...
- ffsm8 2y agoNot directly, yeh. I just skipped to the logical conclusion if they keep ignoring the ruling indefinitely. But definitely not something that's going to happen within the next weeks, sorry if I made it sound like that.
