Social media giants will be called before a parliamentary inquiry into the societal damage done by Facebook, TikTok and other platforms as Elon Musk expands his legal challenge against Australia’s online watchdog.
X Corp will use its separate tribunal case to argue Musk’s view that by blocking the video to all Australians – including those using networks that obscure their location – the watchdog is effectively seeking a global ban outside its jurisdiction and that Inman Grant’s decision was made without a proper basis.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used the spread of false information about the church stabbing andand heavier fines for social media firms.
“Parliament needs to understand how social media companies dial up and down the content that supports healthy democracies, as well as the anti-social content that undermines public safety.”Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones, leading negotiations on Australia’s attempt to force them to pay for hosting Australian news stories, said the companies were “more determined to wipe trusted news sources from their platforms than scammers and other criminals”.
Coleman said the pilot must go beyond access to porn sites to include social media platforms, which currently ask if a person is aged 13 or over but do not require proof to set up an account.
