Is Rex censoring social media comments?

Is Jennifer now working for Rex?

If you attempt to travel on Rex again is there a chance it'll now ban you from boarding if you use your real name?

Nah. They might divert to Minsk under escort for a chat with the President though.

This has also made it to AFR:

Social media moderation keeps Rex’s skies blue in feud with Qantas

But on Twitter, where the airline cannot easily moderate what appears, complaints about call centre times are legion.

Haha, Rex is partly blaming Facebook:

Rex responded with a statement saying it ‘‘makes no apologies’’ for restricting public access to comments deemed ‘‘abusive, vulgar, racist’’ or (even merely) ‘‘biased or unreasonable’’. And that some comments may be restricted by Facebook itself.

As mentioned in the article Rex can't censor twitter posts so I guess that's the best place to catch the unfiltered view (for now).

Perhaps the Singaporean attitude to free speech influences the way they run the airline since Singapore interests are the majority shareholder.
