The European Court of Justice (CJEU) on Thursday ruled that Facebook update its filters and allow member states to remove content that's been deemed illegal, not only for Facebook users in the plaintiff's country but everywhere.

The decision follows a complaint by Eva Glawischnig-Piesczek, the leader of Austria's Green Party, over a post she claimed was defamatory that was made to her Facebook account. 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.
