About the Work

The Telemedia Act regulates the framework conditions for telemedia in Germany. This includes electronic information and communication services, particularly as realized on the Internet, which were previously regulated as tele-services and media services. The Telemedia Act is thus the central legal provision governing the law applicable to the Internet and its services. The regulatory matters of the law include, in particular, the country of origin principle for services in the EU, the imprint for telemedia services, the fight against spam, the liability or liability privilege ("provider privilege") of service providers for unlawful content, data protection in the offering and use of telemedia services, as well as the disclosure of data to monitoring authorities and private entities. Additionally, the TMG includes references to the State Broadcasting Treaty.
