A motion to establish a Senate select committee to examine the influence and censorship of Big Tech companies has stalled, with the Senate vote split evenly 32-32.

Liberal Senator Alex Antic was prompted to raise the motion in January after tech giant Twitter permanently banned former U.S. President Donald Trump’s social media account.
