Austria Court orders Facebook to remove hate postings

A court in Austria has ordered that Facebook must remove postings seen as hate speech, in a ruling that is set to have international implications.

The case was brought by the country’s Green Party after its leader was targeted by a false account.

The court said postings not just in Austria but worldwide must be deleted.

Facebook has not yet commented.

The ruling is seen as a victory for campaigners who want to make social media platforms combat online trolling.
