[MINISTRY] - CJEU (EU Court of Jewstice): Facebook can be ordered ... to remove defamatory material worldwide - [PEACE]
So the EU Court of "Justice" aka Jewstice, is Jewing over the EU and claiming jewrisdiction over the entire world (could never have predicted this) by providing a fig leaf of Jewdicial sanction to the Facebook Political Complex in their zealous hand wringing censorship. Speak anyway (of course): The Court Of Justice Of The European Union Limits Free Speech https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/court-justice-european-union-limits-f... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15139/european-court-free-speech On October 3, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled in a judgment that Facebook can be ordered by national courts of EU member states to remove defamatory material worldwide: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2019-10/cp190128en.... "She [Glawischnig-Piesczek] is seeking an order that Facebook Ireland remove a comment published by a user on that social network harmful to her reputation, and allegations which were identical and/or of an equivalent content. "The Facebook user in question had shared on that user's personal page an article from the Austrian online news magazine oe24.at entitled 'Greens: Minimum income for refugees should stay'. That had the effect of generating on that page a 'thumbnail' of the original site, containing the title and a brief summary of the article, and a photograph of Ms Glawischnig-Piesczek. That user also published, in connection with that article, a comment which the Austrian courts found to be harmful to the reputation of Ms Glawischnig-Piesczek, and which insulted and defamed her. This post could be accessed by any Facebook user." The judgment has brought concern among free speech organizations. Thomas Hughes, the executive director of ARTICLE 19, a non-profit organization that works on "protecting the right to freedom of expression around the world," said: https://www.article19.org/resources/cjeu-judgment-in-facebook-ireland-case-i... "This judgment has major implications for online freedom of expression around the world. "Compelling social media platforms like Facebook to automatically remove posts regardless of their context will infringe our right to free speech and restrict the information we see online... "The ruling also means that a court in one EU member state will be able to order the removal of social media posts in other countries, even if they are not considered unlawful there. This would set a dangerous precedent where the courts of one country can control what internet users in another country can see. This could be open to abuse, particularly by regimes with weak human rights records." According to ARTICLE 19: https://www.article19.org/resources/cjeu-judgment-in-facebook-ireland-case-i... "The judgment means that Facebook would have to use automated filters to identify social media posts that are considered to be 'identical content' or 'equivalent content'. Technology is used to identify and delete content that is considered illegal in most countries, for example, child abuse images. However, this ruling could see filters being used to search text posts for defamatory content, which is more problematic given that the meaning of text could change depending on the context. Although the ruling has said only content that is essentially the same as the original unlawful post should be removed, it is likely that automated filters will make errors". The judgment "undermines the long-standing principle that one country does not have the right to impose its laws on speech on another country," Facebook commented in a statement. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/facebook-handed-unwanted-job-global-112629488... ...
