Facebook lost a case about moderation before the Civil Court in Poland (first instance). The court found out:
- by blocking fanpages FB infringed on personal/moral rights of the organisation owning the fanpage
- agreement in FB's ToS to file any case in Irish Court is null and void even in case of organisation, and not consumer
- the case can be held in Poland and in Polish language (FB has Polish version, so they should be able to defend in Polish)
- FB is not allowed to block without justification and a way to contest the block
- FB/Meta needs to restore full page with likes, shares, follows etc
- FB/Meta is to post apology for their behaviour on the fanpage in question
The case started in 2018 or 2019. During the case court imposed interim measure reinstating the page and forbidding FB from removing it.
