Due to a humour page poking fun at Aborigines. (HT: 24/7)
Australian MPs have started to call for legislative powers to compel social networks to swiftly remove offensive content, after Facebook failed to act decisively to remove a page containing numerous racist stereotypes of Australian aboriginals.
Facebook initially did nothing about the page, which disappeared briefly and then resurfaced marked as “controversial humour”.
I thought Australians were freedom-lovers; I guess that doesn’t apply to their MPs…
