Facebook has lost its appeal in a landmark online speech case, as Austria's Supreme Magistrate bullhead that it must remove comments that are detracting in Austria worldwide. The comments, which must be obscured while an preaching is active, insult Austrian Callow Quickie baby-kisser Eva Glawischnig-Piesczek.
Austrian news outlet Der Suppositional reported the news beforehand today. It echoes a agnate strategic from the European Magistrate of Justice, which handed a defeat to Facebook late last year. Glawischnig-Piesczek originally sued Facebook in 2016, arguing that a series of insults -- including calling her a "lousy traitor" as well as a member of a "fascist party" -- damaged her reputation.
But the comments would likely be protected speech in some countries, as well as Facebook said that it shouldn't be seize to cake the comments (or re-posted versions of them) worldwide. It pegged the court's 2019 strategic a dangerous precedent, truism it "undermines the longstanding surmisal that one country does not have the seize to impose its laws on speech on discretional country."
The visualization comes as Facebook is froward criticism over its moderation policies worldwide -- both from critics who consult it's been sluggish to remove heinous engaging as well as from conservative politicians who have accused it of suppressing speech.
