Swedish Court Convicts Man For Not Deleting 'Hateful' Comments Posted by Others in Facebook Group
A 52-year-old man has been given a conditional sentence and fined by a Swedish court for not deleting 'hateful' comments in a Facebook group he managed, according to local media.



Oh and to think your leftist pig demotwats want this for the US too. Can you see the loons on here who want everyone shut down too. LOL Sadly most are way to dumb to realize what they take from those they do not like it will also be taken from those who do the taking.

It's ok we know your all a little to low on the IQ charts to comprehend how that is ever possible.
 
If you hate the left, you should be glad to see facebook edging closer to extinction
 
I wonder what group he allowed "hateful" posts of to stay on his FB? Jewish, Muslim, etc.

As a guess...Far Right nationalist sort of thing.

Landmark case: Swedish court fines man for not deleting hate speech on Facebook

Patrik Markström, one of the administrators of the Facebook group Stå Upp För Sverige (Stand Up For Sweden), faced court for not deleting eight "grossly insulting" comments made by other people in the group.
Eskilstuna District Court said in a statement on Tuesday that it agreed with the prosecutor that the comments were clearly to be considered acts of agitation against ethnic groups.
Markström denied responsibility, saying he had not seen the comments.
However, according to the verdict seen by The Local, the court found that he must have seen six of these comments himself and actively intended not to remove them. The other two comments had also been brought to his attention, but he "remained passive" and showed "gross negligence" by not deleting them.
The court based its ruling on Sweden's law on bulletin board systems, which states that a person who provides such a forum could also be responsible for what is written by other users.
The law dates back to the late 1990s, before Facebook existed, but the court ruled that the social media site falls under the same legislation – a decision that could set a legal precedent in Sweden.
Legal experts said they believe the case could be appealed to Sweden's Supreme Court.
The Facebook group Stå Upp För Sverige was originally set up by Markström in 2017 under the name Stand Up For Peter Springare – a police officer who caused controversy after writing on his own Facebook profile that most of his cases involved foreign-born criminals.
Three months later the group had around 226,000 members. It later changed its name after Springare himself strongly criticized it and said he did not want to be associated with a group that "propagates xenophobic, racist and other degrading statements about immigrants or other people".


BTW--OP link is a InfoWars clone.

Just curious. Do you favor the Swedish Court's conviction? Do you think it appropriate?

Well..is their country. But...no, I don't favor govt. sanctions for posts on a private board. Facebook has the right to ban or not to ban---Govt. should stay out.

And yet...on and on and on you go. Yapping about nothing..and contributing nothing.

Still no actual content? No scintillating commentary? Perhaps a small statement of support for the oppressed in Sweden?
