Facebook on EU court ruling: 'It undermines the long-standing principle that one country does not have the right to impose its laws on speech on another country'
But Facebook is"not liable for stored information if it has no knowledge of its illegal nature or if it acts expeditiously to remove or to disable access to that information," the European Court of Justice says.
But it said that Facebook and others are "not liable for stored information if it has no knowledge of its illegal nature or if it acts expeditiously to remove or to disable access to that information as soon as it becomes aware of it." The ruling comes amid a case brought in Austria by a former politician of the country's Green Party who sought an order that Facebook, led by chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, remove comments posted by a user on their personal page, which Austrian courts found to have been harmful to her reputation, along with "equivalent" messages posted by others elsewhere.
But the court also highlighted: "Under that directive, a host provider such as Facebook is not liable for stored information if it has no knowledge of its illegal nature or if it acts expeditiously to remove or to disable access to that information as soon as it becomes aware of it." It added: "The directive prohibits any requirement for the host provider to monitor generally information which it stores or to seek actively facts or circumstances indicating illegal activity.
