| 0809 | 09.08 | Media titan John Malone, newspapers 'ripping' content, and online moderation John Malone has been called the "swamp alligator", the "cable cowboy" and "Darth Vader". He's worth several billion dollars and he's one of the few people to put one over Rupert Murdoch. But you've probably never heard of him. Well, John Malone is buying up more and more of UK television. So it's time we got to know him better. Matthew Garrahan is the global media editor of the Financial Times and has met the media mogul. He tells us what John Malone is up to.

We hear from Dominic Ponsford, editor of the Press Gazette, freelance journalist Marie Le Conte and Christian Broughton, editor of the Independent nwespaper. Social media platforms, especially Facebook and YouTube, are criticised for distributing content deemed to be offensive.

There's evidence that it's getting harder to keep up with the sheer volume of material.
