A Social Media Council to serve as an accessible forum in reducing harms and improving democratic expression on the internet.

Key Points: 
  • A Social Media Council to serve as an accessible forum in reducing harms and improving democratic expression on the internet.
  • A world-leading transparency regime to provide the flow of necessary information to the regulator and Social Media Council.
  • And that public institutions representing a public interest must step up on behalf of the victims of the deluge and the sanctity of our democracy.
