Pleased to complete our 2022 review of the misinformation code today. We engage in a lot of reviews and you don’t always hear the rationale for the final decision-making, so we wanted to release a report that details how the updated code addresses stakeholder feedback 👇

These online safety codes have been an industry-wide effort almost 12 months in the making, and we're keen to hear from the public and experts on the drafts. Head to onlinesafety.org.au for the details.

Our latest Leaders of Tech Q&A features Sunita Bose, MD of DIGI. Sunita raises the importance of modernising tech laws to support Australia’s digital economy and how DIGI is advocating for a safer online landscape. Read it in full here: tinyurl.com/2kpxz4pv #leadersoftech

Hearing the views of academics, civil society and others through our previous public consultation helped DIGI shape the misinformation code, and now we want to hear from you again as to whether it needs to be amended, through our planned review launched today 👇

OPINION: The government says it has a strategy to become a leading digital economy by 2030, but we are starting this race at the back of the pack compared to OECD rivals, writes Sunita Bose. bit.ly/3yKQRj5

Enjoyed today’s #ACLForum session about digital regulation. I wrote some of my remarks into an opinion piece in the AFR about how Australia has the second smallest tech sector in the OECD, and the ambition and strategy we need to turn that around. afr.com/technology/mor…

We need agility and many players in the fight against disinformation in order to keep up with the tech and tactics of its perpetrators, which I wrote about in The Australian yesterday. theaustralian.com.au/business/techn…

My opinion piece in today’s SMH on why you can care about online safety, and support changes to the Online Safety Bill. We need smart regulation for this complex and incredibly important issue. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

You can care deeply about online safety, and be against the Online Safety Bill as drafted. I spoke to the AFR after a rushed Senate Hearing on Friday about how *any* tech or other company with a digital presence is in scope.

Excited to launch the Australian Code of Practice on Disinformation and Misinformation today. It will provide Australians with safeguards against such content online, and a transparent, consistent and public framework for digital companies to report on that work.

ICYMI: The post #COVID19 recovery phase gives Aus an opportunity to set its policy levers to help grow our tech sector to its full potential over the next 10y, so says Sunita Bose #DIGI . For more stories like this, check out our reconstruction series buff.ly/2BEJvGH

“Ask someone to define themselves in their own terms in their own words” -- a kindness that Dylan Marron even extends to people who hate him, and a beautiful lesson from our #DIGIEngage2020 day 2 keynote

Day 2 of #DIGIEngage2020 and we have Groove Therapy in the house getting us even more pumped! Hope our participants are dancing at home like we are in studio!

'Learn as much as you can about someone else's position. Talk on their level so they become curious.'. So inspired by the keynote by @Realdaryldavis #DIGIEngage2020

Bring it on! #DIGIEngage2020
