An Austrian court has ruled that Facebook must delete hate speech postings worldwide and that Austrian law can be applied to lawsuits against the social media website. (Phys.org: Austrian court: Facebook must delete hate postings worldwide)
Facebook has become notorious for the filth which is posted there and particularly after Facebook Live was introduced since that brought with it a concomitant array of videos for suicide, torture, and / or murder. Facebook is the largest troll factory on the planet and it seethes with not quite hidden hatefulness. Austria is fed-up with that and so are many places, most particularly in Europe.
Maria Windhager, a lawyer for an Austrian politician, said Monday's ruling is a rebuff to the social media giant's claims that any court actions against it can be heard only in California or Ireland, where Facebook's world and European headquarters are located.

The arrogance of Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook is their belief they can always run back to America to get away with anything.
Windhager represents Greens politician Eva Glawischnig, who went to court over comments about her posted through a fake profile.
The Austria Press Agency says Monday's decision arose from Facebook's appeal of a lower court ruling ordering it to delete the postings.
Facebook did not immediately comment on the decision.
- PO
Of course Facebook didn't respond since it's too busy generating more fake news which only has the requirement it can't appear to be as fake as anything Alex Jones is doing. Anything short of that is fair game.
The protests about fake profiles on Facebook never stop and there's no easy way to discover what percentage are fake but there's little reason to believe even ten percent of Facebook's subscribers are real.
Ed: you're just a crank who hates Facebook!
In fact that's not true but I do hate what people do on there and that has affected my life deeply due to serious theft of my kit and lying after the fact about it. There's tremendous misrepresentation of just about everything in there and the evil of Facebook is clear to anyone with much experience with it.
It's the Rockhouse contention Facebook creates an environment of complacency which is immensely destructive to the social initiatives in an evolving society. While society tries to move forward, Facebook goes nowhere except to hustle for more advertising revenues. The Rockhouse perceives Facebook as an active threat to the future for all of us.
Hat tip to Austria and Europe for this prosecution.
