131It is apparent from Article 14(3) of the Directive on Electronic Commerce, read in the light of recital 45 thereof, that the exemption from liability provided for in Article 14(1) is without prejudice to the power of the national courts or administrative authorities to require the provider concerned to terminate or prevent an infringement, including by removing the illegal information or by disabling access to it. It follows that a service provider may have imposed on it injunctions adopted on the basis of the national law of a Member State, even if it satisfies one of the alternate conditions set out in Article 14(1) of that directive, that is to say, even in the event that it is not considered to be liable (judgment of 3 October 2019, Glawischnig-Piesczek, C‑18/18, EU:C:2019:821, paragraphs 24 and 25).
