            Facebook
     has deleted or blocked 362 posts over the past six months to comply with Germany's new law against hate speech.
> Germany kicked off 2018 with a strict law against online hate speech. The law allows for fines against tech companies, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, of up to $58 million (£44 million, AU$79 million) if they don't remove offending posts within 24 hours of receiving a complaint. The law is also known as NetzDG.
