The European Court of Human Rights (HCHR) ruled that publishers who share hyperlinks on the Internet cannot be held liable for the content of those hyperlinks. The HCHR found that a ruling in Hungary violated 444.hu's rights by holding it liable for the content reached through a hyperlink in a news article. Online content often uses electronic hyperlinks to substantiate or offer further information to readers. This judgement is considered a 'breakthrough for Internet freedom'.
