Well duh, it's Germany. Of course they failed to describe what "hate speech" even is.

Germany has started enforcing a controversial hate speech law that carries hefty fines for social media companies that fail to quickly remove objectionable content.
The law, which was passed in June, went into effect Monday, officially granting internet companies likeFacebook,*Twitter*and YouTube-parentGoogle*just a 24-hour window to remove offending posts once a user flags them for review.
The law carries fines of up to $60 million if companies fail to remove posts that are "obviously illegal" within 24 hours. It grants a week to consider more ambiguous cases.
