Media Release: Big tech regulation needed to stop disinformation spreading like wildfire in Australia’s democracy. @davidHRLC @AusReset https://t.co/XCnXnAATQA

[Elise Thomas @elisethoma5]

In our report we made recommendations for policymakers:
- Focus on community and societal risks, not only individual risks
- Regulation of systems and processes, not only content moderation
- Platform accountability and transparency
- Strong regulators and enforced regulation

[Australian Public Policy Institute @JMIPublicPolicy]

Today on The Policymaker: With Australia’s Online Safety Act under review, regulators should take heed of the UK’s experience in imposing duties of care on digital platforms, argue @RysFarthing (@ausreset) and Professor Lorna Woods (@EssexLawSchool).

'Algorithmic transparency' is a great start. But regulation needs to probe digital platforms' systems - 'not just' their algorithms. Our new report "NOT JUST ALGORITHMS" out today, with learnings for the upcoming Review of Australia's Online Safety Act. https://t.co/4AJuCMNmcy

Australians who gamble, drink, are minors and those under financial risk are being micro-targeted with online advertisements. @cameronwilson reports.

Australians struggling to make ends meet are being segmented by data brokers into categories such as 'struggleville' and 'slender meanz' - my latest @choiceaustralia https://t.co/UUhr6eguCe

Our report is live on our website https://t.co/MiyrUsx3rr! Susie Alegre draws on Xandr research from @WolfieChristl to reveal how vulnerable Australians are stalked & manipulated by the ads machine, at a staggering level of detail.

[Reset.Tech Australia @ausreset]

Scam texts feeling eerily timely? Social media ads creepily precise? Enjoy part 1 of the 'trailer' for our soon-to-be released report 'AUSTRALIANS FOR SALE', which goes into the dark details of the 'Xandr File' and the over 8300 'segments' traded about Australians @WolfieChristl

Part 2:

[Australian Public Policy Institute @JMIPublicPolicy]

Australia’s referendum on the Voice has highlighted the need for better regulation of social media platforms to prevent falsehoods corroding our democratic discourse.

In The Policymaker, @adawko and @RysFarthing argue that regulation that places duties of care on platforms to mitigate against both individual and societal risks might be our best path forward.

Important work by @ausreset bringing transparency and accountability to the digital world.

[Andrew Leigh @ALeighMP]

Thinktank @ausreset ran an experiment on social media. They created Voice ads with deliberate misinformation & submitted them to @X, @facebook & @tiktokaustralia. Almost all were approved (the ads never ran).

The platforms need to do better! https://t.co/Vd0ovUzLeQ #auspol
