Super interesting, German District Court Frankfurt (2-03 O 188/21) rules on filter-obligations for social networks in defamation cases (Künast v. Facebook).
In a nutshell:
Facebook loses, needs to take pro-active measures to prevent (identical + equivalent) defamation.

Court basically argues: After the claimant (MP Künast) notified Facebook about one instance of defamatory post, the law didn’t require her to sysiphus-like search every re-share or re-upload. Instead, Facebook was obliged to pro-actively prevent copies and re-appearances.

Court argues that this also includes prevention of “similar content” (different wording, different layout, hidden pixels). Court argues that even if this might require human review, this doesn’t make the (de-facto-filter) obligation disproportionate.

Art. 15(1) E-Commerce-Directive is THE decisive rule to which extent you might successfully sue Facebook & Co. to filter/prevent infringing content.

.. a German district Court will rule on filter obligations in prominent proceeding Künast v. Facebook (important since in this area we have one ECJ ruling which is somewhat vague and few national courts have chances to move on with interpretation).

The other reason why we should pay attention is the ongoing #DSA -negotiations. Lawmakers are split whether to change the rules here, with the EP wanting to make it more industry-friendly (not good!).
Sidenote: Art. 7 is way more important than many other things in the DSA.
