French Court Rules That Facebook Can Now Be Sued in France (thestack.com)

Posted by yaelk on from the the-french-didnt-surrender dept.

An anonymous reader writes: A Paris court of appeal has ruled in favor of a French complainant whose account was suspended, because he linked to an image of the 1866 Gustav Courbet nude 'L'Origine du monde', currently residing at the Musee d'Orsay. The appeals court not only agreed that the user's suspension by Facebook constitutes censorship, but the ruling itself negates Facebook's insistence that all legal challenges take place in its native California.

    Women should not be treated as sex objects. This isn't 1866 anymore! Grow up Gustav. Put some clothes on her and teach her to code!

      If Elsa wants to move across the screen, she will move by herself. I hope she freezes your balls off, you misoginist women-hating gamergating homophobic faggot. Go die in a cold fire.

    twitter.cn obeys the laws of Canada

    While having the Chinese branch of twitter obeying Canadian law sounds good, I don't think China would be happy.
