Australia Considers New Laws for Online Harm and Big Tech
Australia is considering new digital safety laws that could allow lawsuits against big tech companies for online harm. Communications Minister Anika Wells stated that the proposed laws would not lead to government control of speech, asserting that Australians could still access content like 'manosphere podcasts' or moon-landing conspiracy theories. The government is reportedly considering a proposal from the Greens to permit Australians to sue online platforms for damages, while the opposition maintains its stance against the new digital safety laws.
