Summary
The broadcasting jurisdiction of the Federal Constitutional Court has always differed from classical legal doctrine because the freedom anchored in the second sentence of Germany's Grundgesetz Article 5 (1) is understood as a serving freedom. But with social media having made broadcasters of us all, Christopher Davis shows that it is time to discard this understanding. This would - without turning broadcasting legislation completely on its head - allow the legislator considerable leeway to overcome media regulation challenges.
