Labor plans to introduce legislation that would impose a digital duty of care on social media platforms in Australia, according to The Guardian. Communications Minister Anika Wells is expected to release draft legislation this week as parliament reconvenes. However, opposition leader Angus Taylor has expressed deep skepticism, warning against what he perceives as an attempt to "censor" free speech online.
The government's proposal has faced significant opposition in parliament, with Taylor leading the charge against the potential legislation.
