A Michigan judge has ordered a lawyer to take down Facebook posts concerning a settlement by McDonald’s concerning its halal food offerings.

The order also required Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni to post a copy of the actual settlement in a class action against McDonald’s and provide the court with contact information for those who had “liked” his posts proposing a different division of the $700,000 to be paid by the restaurant in the case, according to the Detroit Free Press and the Press & Guide.
