Goal was wrong when closing the porn star

The Constitutional Court of Colombia ordered the goal on Friday to change its privacy policies after ruling that trampled the freedom of expression of a porn star by closing its Instagram account.

Esperanza Gómez, one of the best -known adult content actresses in Colombia, said he published photographs of herself in underwear as part of her work.

Gomez, who has more than 5 million followers on Instagram, said that the goal decision of closing his account affected his ability to work and said they did not give him a clear explanation.

Meta, owner of Facebook and WhatsApp, as well as Instagram, argued that Gomez violated the rules of the platform on nudity.

But the court ruled that he acted “arbitrarily” to close his account and “illegitimately restricted his freedom of expression.”

In his ruling, the court said that, although he recognized the need for the social media platform to moderate content, this did not justify closing the account of a porn star “without a clear and transparent justification,” according to BBC News.

He decided that goal “applied his policies on nakedness and sexual services inconsistently,” noting that other accounts similar to Gomez remained active.

In a long -range decision, the Court ordered the goal to “review and adjust the terms of use and Instagram privacy policy, so that users are clearly aware of the mechanisms for challenging moderation decisions.”

The ruling did not specify sanctions for breach.

Goal did not immediately react to the decision.

This is not the first time that a South American Court demands a social network to change its policies.

In June, the Supreme Court of Brazil ruled that social networks were directly responsible for illegal content, including hate discourse, and must act immediately to eliminate it.

That ruling followed a judge who ordered the suspension Of dozens of X supposedly explain the misinformation of the diffusion, BBC News reported. It led to the social media platform briefly prohibited in Brazil, before starting to meet the ruling and pay a fine of $ 5.1 million, according to BBC News.
