Controversy over shutdown of online account
A teacher has taken Facebook to court in Paris after his account was closed when he posted an image of the Gustave Courbet painting L’Origine du monde, which shows a woman’s genitals.
The company said his account was closed due to a contractual dispute and not because of the image.
A ruling will be given this month.
