The Cologne Regional Court, Germany found that Facebook could not block a user’s account or remove comments related to specific incidents as they did not constitute incitement or hate speech. A user had commented twice on Facebook, criticizing refugees’ conduct and behaviour in response to an article and a video featuring specific events, and after Facebook blocked her account for a total of 60 days she approached the courts. The Court found that the comments did not constitute incitement under German criminal law, and so Facebook could not rely on that as grounds for blocking the account. It noted that the regular user would believe that Facebook offers an opportunity to share opinions on a wide range of topics, and held that as the user’s comments did not “generally incite against all foreign persons” they could not fall under hate speech prohibited by Facebook’s Community Standards. The Court issued a preliminary injunction, ordering Facebook to reactivate the respective comments in its network and unblock the user’s Facebook profile.
