The Federal Office for Justice said the company had failed to meet transparency requirements for its handling of hate speech complaints.

German authorities said Tuesday that they have imposed a 2 million-euro fine on Facebook under a law designed to combat hate speech.

The agency said Facebook's report for the first half of 2018 didn't reflect the actual number of complaints about suspected illegal content, which in Germany includes anti-Semitic insults and material designed to incite hatred against persons or groups based on their religion or ethnicity.
