Colombia's highest court has ruled that Meta violated a porn star's right to freedom of expression when it deleted her Instagram account.
The South American nation's Constitutional Court said on Friday that the tech firm had removed Esperanza Gómez's account "without a clear and transparent justification" and without offering similar treatment to other, similar accounts.
The 45-year-old, whose account had more than five million followers, is one of Colombia's best known adult content actresses.
Meta argued in the case that she had violated its rules on nudity. The company, which also owns Facebook and WhatsApp, did not immediately react to the ruling.
Ms Gómez had alleged that the closure of her account had affected her ability to work and had been influenced by her pornographic work beyond the platform. She also claimed Meta had not followed due process.
