(RECLAIM THE NET) -- Google’s YouTube has been forced to pay a €100,000 fine for censoring a video from a protest against Covid lockdowns.
The Dresden Higher Regional Court ruled that YouTube was wrong to delete the video, filmed in Switzerland.
The court first, in late April 2020, issued an injunction ordering the behemoth to restore the video immediately – but YouTube ignored the ruling for almost an entire month before complying on May 14, 2020. The German court found this behavior to be a “deliberate and serious violation” and fined the giant.
