Episode: What is the debate on misinformation and disinformation legislation about?
Description: The Australian government has a Bill that attempts to get social media companies to better police misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms. It is a bill that has caused a fair degree of concern and Liberal National Party Senator Matt Canavan outlines some of the key provisions that concern him. He also touches on issues of free speech and whether a social media ban for people under the age of 16 makes any sense. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
