Social Media Platforms Ignored Antisemitic Complaints from MP, Royal Commission Hears

Federal Labor MP Josh Burns testified before Australia's antisemitism royal commission on June 30 that social media platforms repeatedly ignored complaints about antisemitic abuse targeting him, his staff, and his partner. Burns described the platforms as the primary venue for such harassment. His claims expose gaps between platforms' stated moderation standards and enforcement—a tension Australian regulators have sought to close through mandatory compliance obligations rather than voluntary codes.
