In Germanythe Constitutional Court signed up with a politician who asked to be given the personal details of several users of the social networking platform Facebookto take legal action against them for the defamatory and insulting comments they made against her.
The MP of their party Greens, Renate Kunasthad sought evidence to sue the authors of 22 abusive comments, many of which were sexist or violent.
The Constitutional Court found that the comments came from a blog and subsequent posts in a discussion about statements made by members of the party he represented in the 1980s about pedophilia.
Meanwhile, its judges Karlsruhe rejected the two decisions Courts of Berlin who had judged that only 12 of the 22 comments could be sued and thus refused to give Art the details of the authors of the remaining ten comments. They sent the case back to Berlin Court of Appeal to reconsider these ten comments and decide whether Facebook should be obliged and disclose the details of these users as well.
The platforms Twitter and Facebook as well as the company Google have resorted to Courts of Germany against the new law on hate speech on the internet, considering that it violates the right of their users to privacy.
