This article examines the European Court of Human Rights’ evolving case-law on freedom of expression in the context of social media. Through an analysis of the Melike v. Turkey, Danileţ v. Romania, and Sanchez v. France judgments, it explores how the Court balances the right to freedom of expression with the duties and responsibilities of users, particularly public figures. These judgments highlight the importance of context, audience reach, and role of the speaker in determining liability for online speech, offering a framework for navigating the complex interplay between freedom of expression and accountability on social media.
