    I thought we had a thread on this in here already but it doesn't seem like it.

    Big tech regulation is one of those ongoing stories that's worth familiarising yourself with. @kaveesha did a great guide on this here: https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/the-lawyers-guide-to-big-tech-regulation/

    Following the attack in New Zealand today, social media sites (especially Facebook) will be under pressure to put a stop to the posting and sharing of these kinds of videos (the attack was live-streamed on Facebook).

    Looks like tech companies are starting to take action and no longer relying on the defence they're just a platform. As these companies begin to remove more content, they'll continue to receive accusations that they're biased/making policy decisions on what is considered appropriate information.

    "YouTube announced plans on Wednesday to remove thousands of videos and channels that advocate for neo-Nazism, white supremacy and other bigoted ideologies in an attempt to clean up extremism and hate speech on its popular service."
