\nHe spoke\u00a0about intermediary liability for online user comments – the Delfi jurisprudence<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Delfi case<\/a> raised a lot of discussion and is one of the first on the role of intermediaries in today’s information society. Robert Spano has been a judge at the European Court of Human Rights since November 2013. In 2015 the Council of Europe produced a video series about freedom of expression<\/a> in which he featured talking about the protection of sources<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his presentation, Judge Spano discussed the facts of the Delfi<\/em> case<\/a> and a similar case, MTE & Index v. Hungary<\/em><\/a>, that was decided by the ECHR in 2016. After his presentation, he answered questions from the attending researchers and information law students, which led to an insightful and lively discussion about the different aspects of the two cases.<\/p>\n
