Description

The fog of war is an old term but it has very modern applications. In the conflict between Israel and Iran there have been plenty of false images and videos doing the rounds and it can be tough for foreign media to know what’s accurate. So how do you tell the real from the fake? 

Antoinette Lattouf won her employment case against the ABC on Wednesday. Daany Saeed was in court and reflects on the media trial that made ABC the headline rather than the publisher. 

And a war of words has erupted this week with the E-Safety Commissioner and YouTube disputing terms as the Government considers whether or not to exempt the platform from the impending Social Media Minimum Age Legislation. 

Guest: Maryanne Taouk is a reporter for ABC Verify
