ECHR confirmes Delfi decision
The European Court of Human Rights has confirmed the Estonian court’s decision which found news portal Delfi liable for offensive comments posted on its website. The comments were deemed extreme and had been posted in reaction to an article published by Delfi on its professionally managed news portal run on a commercial basis. The judgment does not concern other online spaces where third-party comments can be disseminated.
