Facebook: Platform or a publisher?

After the devastating Christchurch terror attack was live-streamed on Facebook last week, the social media giant is facing mounting international pressure to enforce tighter content regulation.

He joined Newshub Nation on Facebook Live to discuss what future regulation might look like, whether social media has changed the free speech debate and what part social media companies have to play.  

Facebook has responded to questions about why their artificial intelligence systems didn't detect the Christchurch shooter's live stream video - you can read the full statement here.
