Twitter appeals France court decision ordering details of hate speech efforts

October 3, 2021

Laywers for Twitter confirmed on Saturday that the social media giant has appealed a Paris court decision ordering it to grant full access to documents detailing its measures to combat online hate speech. The order was rendered on July 6 and required Twitter to provide information on the “material and human means implemented” by it since May 2020 to six French anti-discrimination groups.

The summary decision arrived after the Union of Jewish Students of France (UEJF), J’accuse, SOS Racisme, SOS Homophobie, the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (Licra) and the Movement against Racism and for Friendship between Peoples (MRAP) took Twitter to court complaining that the platform’s hateful conduct policy is riddled with loopholes that allow hateful comments to remain online.
