DÜSSELDORF, Germany — The Facebook page of Playboy Germany, the German-language edition of the magazine, is now back online after a two-month suspension by Meta, following an order by the Düsseldorf Regional Court.

The court issued an injunction against Meta, ruling that the blocking of the Playboy Facebook page was unlawful.

The page, which has 1.8 million followers, had been unavailable since Feb 17.

According to a statement from Kouneli Media, which operates Playboy Germany, Meta justified blocking the page by citing violations of community standards, including nudity and sexual acts, but failed to specify individual instances. Instead, Meta’s notice to the company referred only to activities that “seemed” to be in violation of guidelines.

XBIZ has previously reported on the issue of inconsistent and opaque standards in Meta’s content moderation practices. Particularly on Instagram, adult creators and businesses frequently face abrupt deplatforming, often without explanation. Earlier this month, Instagram shut down the account of sex tech company Bellesa.

Kouneli Media has lodged a complaint with Germany’s Federal Network Agency, an independent regulatory authority.
