When Facebook refused to remove the offending post, she took her case to court in Austria and won a preliminary injunction covering the offending post and similar ones. The case went to the Austrian Supreme Court, which asked the CJEU, Europe's highest court, for clarification on the scope of EU law when it comes to takedown orders.
