- Title
OLG Frankfurt: Renate Künast und HateAid – Löschpflicht für Meta.
- Authors
Pfeiffer, Jan
- Abstract
The Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt has ruled that a platform operator is obligated to delete equivalent statements if they have knowledge of a statement that violates the law. In the specific case, it concerned a meme on Facebook that depicted the politician Renate Künast with a false quote. The Higher Regional Court confirmed that this constitutes a violation of the right to privacy and that the platform operator is also responsible for deleting further equivalent posts. The decision has been welcomed by companies and lawyers as it ensures legal certainty and clarifies the burden of proof for non-material damages in violations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
