European Court of Human Rights revisits intermediary liability – TechnoLlama

European Court of Human Rights revisits intermediary liability – TechnoLlama: "The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has revisited the issue of liability for Internet intermediaries in the case of Magyar Tartalomszolgáltatók Egyesülete and Index.Hu v Hungary.

This is the second time in less than a year that the ECHR deals with this issue, as it had already produced a controversial decision in the case of Delfi v Estonia, where the court had ruled against news intermediaries and declared them liable for abusive comments posted by users.

I have to say that I was rather apprehensive about the Magyar case, but I’m glad to report that the ECHR has produced a more nuanced decision that fits better with existing practice and law." 'via Blog this'
