Ms Okotel pointed to tech giants like Facebook and Twitter who had been able to avoid lawsuits because they were not deemed to be a publisher, but people on their platforms could be sued. The Australian government is conducting a national review of state-based defamation laws to modernise laws and bring uniformity across the country. The second stage of the review will look at whether social media platforms should be liable for defamatory comments posted by third parties.
“Social media like Facebook and Twitter still claim that they are not the publisher of content on their sites, and yet, simultaneously, social media giants selectively censor or ban users at their discretion,” Ms Okotel said. “Social media giants truly are a law unto themselves, and the unregulated power that they wield, to shape public discourse and control the sharing of content and commentary, is mammoth.
For heaven’s sakes. All social networks have rules and regulations . You have to agree to them before setting up an account. Violate the rules and you at risk to have your account closed.
The replacement theory is weapons grade racism. Don’t allow the white vote to be polluted. Anger and fear for sale.
Yet Sky News propagates lies about climate change and election fraud, covering up the botched vaccine rollout and the sex crimes in Parliament House.
Agreed John, publishing carries responsibility. So how does one explain your 'obsession' with Karina and your multiple inaccurate articles about her?Kind of stalkerish. Your 'Senior Liberal Source' has been feeding you fibbers!
So Sky 'News' Australia hates the free market now? Trying to regulate private enterprise?! Interesting. The toys come flying out of the pram when conservatives don't get their way, even when they contradict themselves which is 99% of the time.
Banning people for breaking their terms of services is literally taking responsibility for comments posted on their platforms...the Liberal Party never runs out of dopes.
