Judges in Brazil have handed down a £10,000 fine to Facebook and Google for not removing or blocking “degrading photos”.
The ruling came after pictures of Brazilian musician Cristiano Araujo in a mortuary were shared online. The Brazilian singer, who was 29, died in a car crash in June alongside his girlfriend.
On Tuesday, Judge Denise Gondim de Medonca declared that Google and Facebook had acted in “bad faith” in ignoring an earlier ruling. Both companies were fined 50,000 Brazilian real (£10,000).
Judge William Fabian said in an earlier ruling on 25 June that the posting of gruesome images of Araujo’s death was “extremely disrespectful to the family’s feeling of sorrow”.
