In another landmark judgement that is bound to send shockwaves across major social media platforms, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has ruled that Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) must globally remove any content deemed illegal.

The court said in a statement, “EU law does not preclude a host provider like Facebook from being ordered to remove identical and, in certain circumstances, equivalent comments previously declared to be illegal. In addition, EU law does not preclude such an injunction from producing effects worldwide, within the framework of the relevant international law.”
