Lachlan Murdoch has been invited to appear before a re-convened Senate inquiry into YouTube’s temporary ban on Sky News Australia for uploading videos in breach of the platform’s Covid misinformation policy.
The inquiry will seek to understand how and why it was left to the video sharing platform to pull down potentially dangerous material.
Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young says,“the Dominance of the Murdoch-owned News Corp is pervasive in Australia’s media landscape. If disinformation was too dangerous to be online, surely it was too dangerous to be broadcast on our television screens?”
