  • The other is that the very nature of social media allows that extremist poison to spray across the globe almost instantaneously.
  • Social media companies are refusing to snuff out the social combustion on their platforms.
  • Coleman says the eSafety Commissioner recommended a trial of “age assurance” technology, which could include social media in its scope.
  • The government hopes the fuelling of concern about social media by recent events will help muster support for whatever new version of this legislation it produces.
  • It involves core free speech issues, and the balance of risks is different from the harms caused by the worst aspects of social media.

The path ahead

    • This, he may hope, will distract hardliners in his coalition from the judicial reform and secure some political breathing space.

    • Many protesters feel Netanyahu, a man renowned for stabbing even his allies in the back, cannot be trusted.
