Colombia's Constitutional Court mandated Meta to revise its Instagram privacy policies after ruling against the arbitrary closure of adult film actress Esperanza Gomez's account. Gomez, with 5 million followers, argued the closure hindered her work without clear justification. The court deemed Meta's actions an illegitimate restriction on freedom of expression, citing inconsistent application of nudity policies. The ruling requires Meta to improve transparency in content moderation decisions but didn't specify penalties for non-compliance. This follows a similar Brazilian Supreme Court decision holding social media liable for illegal content.
