Facebook won the case against Watchdog over Fake Names Using.


Germany is the only country in the world which has too much strict privacy policies for all the websites working there. That’s was the reason behind the case that they filled in a court in Berlin against Facebook.

Case was filled by Germany’s privacy maintaining organization named as Watchdog.


Watchdog in its case told the court that, Facebook has too many members and most of them are fake account holders. In other words they said that, Facebook is using faking names and this is really disturbing for our (German) nationals. This could lead to a fraud or any type of other harmful behaviors, hateful speech against people or country or violence etc.

Facebook is known to be a strict privacy holder in the field of social networking websites. Recently it has made its privacy with new demand and standards.

In the court, Facebook presented their opinion that Facebook is free and always will be for the people around the world. Facebook representative in the court told the Judge, We are very strict in case of found/ reported any kind of violence, threat, harmful behavior, hate speech, specially if account holder is fake and using fake name for someone else. Then the real person can report this (fake) account and we will take immediate actions against fake account holder. If any account is reported as fake then his/her account might be deactivated within 4-24 hours of time period.

So according to law, we are fulfilling our each member around the world. We see privacy very deeply and monitor it regularly. We have a highly professional team of monitoring for these activities twenty four hours a day, seven days of a week.

Moreover, Facebook representative presented some other documental records and data for its account holders.

Finally Judge announced the decision in favor of Facebook after hearing both parties.
