The European Union’s highest court says that
Facebook can be ordered by an individual
member state to remove or block access to
material which was previously declared unlawful
and says that it can have a worldwide impact.
The European Court of Justice ruling on
Thursday is seen as a defeat for Facebook as it
could increase their responsibility for what is
appearing on the internet.
The court ruled after an Austrian Greens politician
sued the internet company in her home nation to
remove comments which she considered bad for
her reputation and insulting in a post which could
be seen by any Facebook user.
