Labor’s ‘depressing’ social media ban seen as a political tool to ‘inhibit’ free speech

Sky News host Rita Panahi blasts Labor’s “depressing” social media ban as a tool to “suppress” free expression and speech.

“We’ve spoken at length on this program about the dangers of this legislation and how it’s going to be used to limit access to credible news, to different forms of communication,” Ms Panahi said.

“It’s going to inhibit people’s free speech and free expression, and not just the under-16s.

“If you don’t understand that this is political and how it’s going to be used in the future to suppress free expression and speech further, then it’s quite depressing.”
