englischInternet intermediaries such as Facebook, Google and others are internet providers that primarily transmit third-party information to their users. Although they themselves provide hardly any original content and do not select third-party content editorially, they can exert an influence on public opinion through algorithmic sorting and deletion or through user exclusions. The thesis analyses whether this type of influence is regulated de lege lata by media law provisions of the Interstate Broadcasting Agreement and the Telemedia Act or by commercial law provisions of antitrust and competition law. In addition, a regulatory concept to control the predominant influence on public opinion of service providers de lege ferenda is developed, taking into account the national constitutional requirements, as well as those of the EU. The analysis also takes into account the US legal provisions for internet intermediaries as a counterpart.
