Austrian regulator moves to revoke Oe24.tv license over anti-Asian slur

Austrian media regulator RTR has initiated license revocation proceedings against Oe24.tv after host Wolfgang Fellner allowed former FPÖ politician Petzner to use a racist slur ('slit-eyed virus') unchallenged. This marks a rare regulatory intervention in Austrian broadcasting, potentially setting a precedent for hate-speech enforcement. The outcome is uncertain and could escalate into a broader political debate on media accountability.
