Media mogul John de Mol and Facebook have had two weeks to agree on how to deal with fake bitcoin commercials featuring De Mol, or face a court decision.
De Mol appeared in court Wednesday to seek an injunction against Facebook for failing to remove the ads, despite repeated requests. The ads, which lead to fraudulent websites, show De Mol and include fake quotes on his winnings from cryptocurrency.
The media entrepreneur is asking the court to order Facebook to remove the ads within five days or be punishable.
However, Facebook's lawyer, Jens van den Brink, told the court that De Mol's request was disproportionate and "technically impossible". In addition, it is impossible to filter on the basis of the name John de Mol because many other people carry this name, said the lawyer.
The court judge said on Wednesday that he would give both parties two weeks to find a reasonable solution. If no agreement is reached, the judge declared that he would rule on the case.
