Australia will begin Imposing Significant Fines on Social Media Platforms if they Fail to stop the Spread of ‘Misinformation’

  • The Australian government is planning to fine social media platforms up to 5% of their global revenue if they do not successfully prevent the spread of ‘misinformation’.
  • The legislation targets
    —— election integrity 🤣
    —— public health 😂
  • This legislation explicitly EXCLUDES professional news… 😂
  • Their demands:
    —— platforms are expected to establish codes of conduct that detail how they will stop the spread of ‘dangerous falsehoods’.
    —— These codes must be approved by a regulator.
    —— If platforms fail to set these codes, the regulator has the authority to impose its own standards and then fine companies for non-compliance.
  • Elon Musk, the owner of X Corp, has publicly criticized this legislation, labeling Australian lawmakers as “fascists” and labels this as an attack on Free Speech.
