    German Judiciary Calls for National Effort Against Digital Violence

    The German Judges’ Association (DRB) emphasizes the need for comprehensive measures to combat digital violence, beyond merely tightening legal provisions.

    DRB Managing Director Rebehn highlighted that many public prosecutors are chronically understaffed, leading to premature case dismissals and rendering political assurances of protection ineffective. The federal government is currently drafting legislation aimed at enhancing protection against digital violence, which includes proposed penalties of up to two years’ imprisonment for the creation and distribution of fake pornographic images, known as deepfakes.
