The executive chairman of News Corp Australasia, Michael Miller, has denied Murdoch outlets are obsessed with the ABC and has rejected the suggestion that they are racist or bullying people as he calls on the government to regulate social media.
Miller told the National Press Club on Wednesday that regulation of the tech companies, as well as the enforcement of the news media bargaining code, was urgent because Facebook, X and TikTok were damaging the social fabric. If social media companies don’t abide by a “social licence”, they should be banned from operating in Australia, he said.
