Thread:Comments:European Court of Justice says Facebook must remove 'illegal' posts globally/Freedom of speech in the European Union/reply

I wondered, at first, about the reference in the final bullet to relevant international law. If Ireland ruled that the comments were protected free speech, what would that do to the situation? Possibly nothing, because that's national law rather than international law; but then, there's the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which ought to qualify.

What this actually means is going to depend critically on what the various institutions do with it, going forward.
