That was a central question in a ruling by High Court judges on Tuesday in Karlsruhe. A dermatologist from Cologne has taken the rating website Jameda all the way to the High Court over what her lawyer described as the “protection racket” it runs. Jameda had argued, based on a 2014 High Court ruling, that it was under no obligation to delete any doctor’s profile. But Jameda insisted that it would not delete the Cologne doctor’s profile. The case could also have significant ramifications for other rating websites which have similar business models to that of Jameda.
