German Justice Ministry Database Outages Undermine Trust (faz.net)

• Recurrent outages in German Justice Ministry legal databases.
• Issues fixed after FAZ inquiry.
• Trust in e-government platforms 'gesetze-im-internet' and 'Juris' declining.

"The German Federal Ministry of Justice operates 'gesetze-im-internet.de' and 'Juris', online portals providing federal laws. Repeated technical outages have disrupted access. Following an inquiry by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the issues were temporarily resolved, but public trust in these e-government services is declining. The incidents highlight vulnerabilities in the digital infrastructure for legal texts."
