[Advocacy Advisors] ECHR Grand Chamber judgment Delfi AS v. Estonia

[Nikolas Becker]

Dear all,

yesterdays decision by the ECHR on the liability of an internet news portal
for offensive online comments makes me wonder about its implications for
wikipedia:

"Commercially-run Internet news portal was liable for the offensive online
comments of its readers"

http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng-press/Pages/search.aspx#{%22sort%22:[%22kpdate%20Descending%22],%22languageisocode%22:[%22ENG%22],%22itemid%22:[%22003-5110487-6300958%22]}

Since this potentially affects all 47 member states of the council of
europe, it could have far-reaching effects.

Does anyone have further insights or opinions?

Nikolas
