   • 2020 June 1, Josh Taylor, “Australian media companies face defamation liability for comments on Facebook after court dismisses appeal”, in The Guardian‎:

     Facebook does not allow for pre-moderation of comments on pages and comments cannot be turned off, however NSW supreme court justice Stephen Rothman had argued that the media companies could have used a word filter using extremely common words to pre-filter the majority of comments to only be visible to the page owner and that user and their friends.
