The case concerns a Facebook user who shared an online article on their personal page about Austrian Greens politician Eva Glawischnig-Piesczek. ...An Austrian court ruled that the comments were intended to insult and defame the politician and Facebook removed access to them in Austria.

In his legal opinion, EU Court of Justice Advocate General Maciej Szpunar said companies like Facebook can be ordered by a court "to seek and identify" duplicate copies of information that a court has deemed illegal posted by any users of a platform.
