Controversial Australian MP Craig Kelly has had his Facebook profile removed by the social media giant for his "repeated" spreading of misinformation about Covid-19.
In a statement, a Facebook spokesman said the platform didn't allow "anyone, including elected officials, to share misinformation about Covid-19 that could lead to imminent physical harm, or Covid-19 vaccines that have been debunked by public health experts.
"We have clear policies against this type of content and have removed Kelly's Facebook page for repeated violations of this policy."
