Albanese govt ‘up against’ giant companies on social media regulation

Communications Minister Michelle Rowland says the government is “up against” giant multinational companies in their ability to regulate the internet and social media. During the federal budget, the government announced $6 million for a trial of age verification technology for internet use. “They have deep pockets, they are highly litigious but that is no reason why they should not be subject to Australian law,” Ms Rowland said. “We should seek to enforce Australian law.”
