⚠️ LABOR MOVES TO FINE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS $100M OVER “HARMFUL” CONTENT

The Albanese Government is preparing new laws that could see social media companies fined more than $100 million if they fail to reduce “harmful” content pushed through their algorithms.

The government says the laws are aimed at material such as illegal pornography, violent content and harmful material targeting children, but critics are demanding clarity over who ultimately decides what counts as “harmful”.

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has warned the plan could become a “serious threat to free speech.”
