Are Facebook publishers?

Usually, the answer would depend on the degree of editorial control it exercises over content. The wider the scope of its editorial decisions, the more likely it is that the social media platform is in fact a “publisher”.

During 2019, Facebook cemented its position as a political player. Also, Facebook has now officially ceased to be a mere social media platform, in favour of becoming editorial activist. The truth of the matter is that Facebook is now a “publisher” and as such it can be sued, at least in the UK, for defamation. In 2019 intentionally or not, Facebook admitted, for the first time during a court hearing, that it was in fact a publisher rather than simply a platform for sharing pictures of new born babies and funny cats.

When does a social media platform become a “publisher”?

So when does a social media platform turn into a “publisher”? Usually, the answer would depend on the degree of editorial control it exercises over content. The wider the scope of its editorial decisions, the more likely it is that the social media platform is in fact a “publisher”. During 2019, Facebook had made a significant number of editorial decisions, particularly to ban or suspend political activists from its platform. In 2020, Facebook should safely be considered legally responsible for posts published on its platform as it will no longer be able to claim it does not exercise editorial control over content. This places Facebook in a very similar position to that of a newspaper. On May 2nd, 2019, Facebook removed the user account of a lady called Laura Loomer. It removed Ms Loomer’s accounts from its platform as part of what it said was its effort to ban individuals and organisations that “amplify or traffic in hate”. In defending the case, ( LAURA LOOMER, Plaintiff, v. FACEBOOK, INC.), Facebook claimed that it was a publisher and that as such, it was protected from the claim of defamation by the First Amendment of the US constitution that provides for an unlimited right of free speech. For this reason, its assertion in court that it was a publisher, is somewhat bizarre. On one hand, it claims that it is a publisher, making editorial decisions but then, when it is convenient, it turns around and claim it is protected under Section 230 because it is not a publisher.
