FULL INTERVIEW: Cybersecurity experts have warned the government to avoid rushing through complex legislation cracking down on social media giants.

Head of the ASPI's International Cyber Policy Centre Fergus Hanson says you 'never get a good piece of legislation when you rush it', insisting it generally ends up being 'rubbish'.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is working to fast-track a bill in the wake of the Christchurch terror attacks which could see social media executives jailed for up to three years if they don't remove violent or extremist content from their platforms fast enough. Mr Hanson is doubtful the proposed legislation will have the 'intended effect' because appropriate time hasn't gone into 'understanding the nuances' of the issue.
