Just wondering how this can be implemented in other countries jurisdictions. As they have different laws and regulations. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are in almost every country. Anyone?

How about holding parliament to account first by passing a comprehensive integrity bill

If only they did the same to you.

What about the government Trolling the people with their LIES!!!!!

Looks+smells like most UNtransparent OzGov EVER wants 2 shut down EVERY source of critique of its lies (eg 2 Macron+Biden+on EVs)+climate sham+bullying+deadly☠️tactics eg drumming up war cos polls dropping=2win2022: + PM wants Oz taxpayers 2 pay out 4 'defamation' of pollies😡

Trolls? Just people with a voice who are less than fond of him and his govt.

nice....

Censorship third Reich style! It's fine & dandy, when govts, use trolling tactics via mainstream or social media to drive covid fear amongst the idiots! It's fine & dandy to run a one sided view without, ever getting a balanced opinion. It's fine & dandy to leave information out!

The totalitarian government wants to shutdown dissenting opinion because it hurts their feelings when people call out their bullshit. This is just the next step in their plan to subjugate the populace.

It would be interesting to see the big tech companies offer up some of the abuses made by LNP politicians on social media

Morrison government running protection for corrupt billionaires, banks, foreign corporations and PHARMACEUTICAL GIANTS. Those operatives stealing our money, assets, Heath and well-being.

It's fascinating to watch an authoritarian government at work.

Why Lush abandoned social mediaIt might be a beauty brand, but Lush is no stranger to standing up for what it believes in, from plastic packaging, to animal cruelty, to trans rights. This time, the brand is taking on social media — by leaving it completely. Less vegans in the world the better. Wow. Maybe they should stop selling anything to protest about how someone made them feel bad once. Might work Good don’t come back 1 less activist group on social media is better for society
