Strafbarkeit rechts motivierter Cyberkriminalität in sozialen Netzwerken

Due to the increasing spread of right-wing incitement and propaganda on social networking sites (SNS), this book analyses ways of effectively combating right-wing motivated cybercrime, taking into account the existing relevant provisions of Germany’s criminal code, telemedia law and network enforcement law. Among other things, the analysis examines the extent to which German criminal law applies to right-wing perpetrators operating from abroad, the criminal relevance of using certain SNS functions such as ‘like’ or ‘share’, and the extent to which website hosting providers are held liable under criminal law if they do not delete or block the illegal content of their users. Furthermore, the study develops several draft laws and an ‘SNS dissemination concept’ to enable more efficient prosecution of right-wing motivated cybercrime on SNS.
