An entrepreneur named Yann Collet, who appears on the French television show "Tout Beau Tout Neuf" hosted by Cyril Hanouna, has been involved in a legal dispute over comments posted on the show's Facebook page. These comments, made on January 26, 2026, accused Collet of being a "fraudster" and engaging in "shady deals." Collet, who runs a company called Squat Solutions, specializes in buying abandoned or squatted properties and helping remove occupants. The comments remain publicly visible on the show's page. Collet's lawyer formally requested Meta, the parent company of Facebook, to remove the comments within 72 hours on February 25, 2026. A report was prepared the next day to preserve evidence. Earlier, on February 13, 2026, Collet had tried to resolve the issue through private messages, but Meta did not respond. Meta acknowledged the report on February 12, 2026, but later closed the case, stating it could not confirm the comments were illegal. On March 10, 2026, Collet filed a criminal complaint for public insult and sued Meta, requesting the removal of the comments, a daily fine of 500 euros, and compensation for moral damage and legal fees. He also asked for the identities of the commenters. Meta defended itself using Article 6 of the European Digital Services Act (DSA), which limits its liability unless it had actual knowledge of illegal content and failed to act. In a court ruling, the judge determined that the terms "fraudster" and "shady deals" were not clearly illegal under French law, as defined by the civil procedure code. The court viewed the comments as criticism rather than grossly offensive language. While the content was not deemed legal in substance, the lack of clearly illegal language led to the rejection of the request for the commenters' identities. Before the hearing on June 12, Meta deleted the disputed comments, and Collet dropped his request for their removal. However, the financial claims and the request for the commenters' identities remained. The judge did not directly reference the DSA in his ruling but noted its relevance to the financial claims, requiring the plaintiff to prove the necessity of the request. Collet was ordered to pay 1,500 euros in procedural costs to Meta, far less than the 3,000 euros Meta had requested. According to lawyer Maître Valentin Simonnet, the court's decision was based on the French legal definition of "manifestly illegal" content, which is stricter than the wording of the DSA. He noted that a new European regulation, known as "e-Evidence," allows for direct requests to service providers in other EU countries for criminal investigations. Additionally, the reference under Article 145 of the civil procedure code could still be used if no other court has taken up the case, provided the plaintiff can prove a legitimate need for the information.
