    About time , hoorah at last to our pollies. Meeting in Brisbane today between the Morrison govt and online providers such as twitter, Facebook, google etc has ended with intended law changes to make providers responsible for content on their platforms. Hate speech and terrorist activity being the primary targets. In essence if a provider is deemed too slow in removing the above from their sites then they can be liable for criminal prosecution. Laws to be pushed through soon. Why has this taken so long. ISIS would not have anything had it not been for those platforms, Christchurch would not have happened without the anti social crap online to incite and feed the idiots. HC will probably need to tighten its hate speech boundaries also, that should cause a few tears for the usual suspects.
