TMG

Abbreviation for Telemediengesetz

In short and in plain language

The TMG was the German Telemedia Act.

It used to hold the rules for the legal notice on a website.

These rules have now moved to a new law. It is the Digital Services Act. So a legal notice today will mostly name that law.

Definition
The TMG was the German Telemedia Act, which used to govern the legal notice on websites, among other things. These rules are now in the Digital Services Act, so current legal notices usually refer to the DDG.
