Meta Court Rules are mistaken in Instagram Porn Star

The highest Court of Colombia has ruled that the meta violated the right of porn stars to freedom of expression when it deleted its Instagram account.

The South America Constitutional Court said on Friday that the technology firm had removed the Esperanza Gómez account “without a clear and transparent justification” and not offering similar treatment with other similar accounts.

A 45-year-old guy, which had more than five million followers, is one of the most famous adult actresses in Colombia.

Meta argued that she violated her rules for nakedness. The company, which also belongs to Facebook and WhatsApp, did not immediately respond to the ruling.

Ms Gomez claimed that the closure of her account affected her ability to work and was influenced by her pornographic work outside the platform. She also claimed that Meta did not follow the proper process.

In his ruling, the court stated that, while he acknowledged the need for social media platforms moderately, this did not justify the closure of the porn star “without clear and transparent justification.”

He also found that Meta “applied its policy in the field of nakedness and sexual services inconsistently” and other accounts with similar content remain active.

The court said the reports on social media were protected in accordance with the Colombian Constitution and should only be limited in a proportional way where it is necessary.

He ordered Meta to “revise and set up the conditions of use and privacy instagram so that users are well aware of the mechanisms for complex moderation solutions” and “more precisely” determine “their rules on implicit sexual content.

If the platforms in social media use autonomous activity as a criterion for moderation, they must accurately state it, the court said.

The court did not indicate the sanctions for non -compliance with the requirements, nor will receive any compensation to Ms. Gomez.

BBC contacted Meta for comments.

This is not the first time the South American court demanded from the social network to change its policy.

The recent Supreme Court of Brazil has ruled that social media is not responsible for illegal content, including hatred language, and must act immediately to remove it and take into account its distribution.

This ruling followed the judge, who ordered the suspended dozen, given the X -spread of misinformation.

This led to the fact that the social media platform was not long banned in Brazil before it began to comply with the ruling and paid a fine of £ 5.1 (3.8 million pounds).
