The German Federal Office of Justice is of the opinion that Telegram is not a pure messenger service, but a social network. This means that Telegram must comply with the requirements of the Network Enforcement Act, just like Facebook and Twitter. This includes setting up an easily accessible reporting channel for punishable content and appointing an agent for service of process for requests from German courts. As a result, two fine proceedings are underway against the company, which is based in the United Arab Emirates. "The requirements of the Network Enforcement Act are binding - and the law does not recognize a blanket exception for Messenger services," Buschmann told 'Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland' on Friday.
