Dacă nu ștergi un comentariu jignitor de pe rețelele tale sociale, riști să fii condamnat chiar tu / Cazul unui jurnalist italian ajunge la Strasbourg / A fost invocat un proces pierdut de România

The Italian Supreme Court upheld a ruling against journalist Fabio Butera for failing to delete defamatory comments on his Facebook post, resulting in a €42,000 damages award. The case highlights the tension between freedom of expression and individual responsibility on social media. Butera's post aimed to debunk a false story about migrants, but he was held liable for not moderating comments that defamed a colleague. The court ruled that while there is no obligation to pre-screen comments, administrators must act upon becoming aware of defamatory content. This decision raises questions about the responsibilities of individuals versus public figures in moderating online discourse.
