Australia news live: Meta tells antisemitism royal commission it has banned some claims about ‘Zionists’ used to spread conspiracy theories

The brief

Meta has informed the Australian royal commission into antisemitism that it has banned claims about 'Zionists' used to spread conspiracy theories. The company's global director of core policy, Benjamin Good, stated that people were using the term 'Zionist' as a coded term to evade moderation against claims of Jewish people having undue control. Meta's platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, have prohibited claims such as 'Zionists control the media'. This move is part of the company's efforts to combat antisemitism. The royal commission is investigating the spread of antisemitism in Australia.
