Facebook accused of failing to provide a 'safe' environment for users
CNN
Reporters Without Borders has filed a lawsuit against Facebook in France, accusing the platform of failing to provide a "safe" environment for users in violation of its own terms and conditions.
The media advocacy group, which is considering filing similar lawsuits in other countries, said France's consumer law is especially well suited to the issue. Misleading consumers is illegal under French law and companies face fines of up to 10% of their annual sales if found in violation. The suit filed with prosecutors in Paris on Monday argues that Facebook (FB) has engaged in "deceptive commercial practices" by allowing disinformation and threats to flourish despite promising users that it will "exercise professional diligence" to create "a safe, secure and error-free environment."
