Solicitor Yair Cohen says in a TV interview with RT News that during 2019, Facebook has cemented its position as a political player. Also in 2019, Facebook officially ceased to be a mere social media platform as it has engaged on a regular basis in editorial activism. 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 connection with failure to exercise editorial control and remove defamatory content from its platform.
