In our report we made recommendations for policymakers:
- Focus on community and societal risks, not only individual risks
- Regulation of systems and processes, not only content moderation
- Platform accountability and transparency
- Strong regulators and enforced regulation

Today on The Policymaker: With Australia’s Online Safety Act under review, regulators should take heed of the UK’s experience in imposing duties of care on digital platforms, argue @RysFarthing (@ausreset) and Professor Lorna Woods (@EssexLawSchool).

'Algorithmic transparency' is a great start. But regulation needs to probe digital platforms' systems - 'not just' their algorithms. Our new report "NOT JUST ALGORITHMS" out today, with learnings for the upcoming Review of Australia's Online Safety Act. au.reset.tech/news/report-no…

Australia’s referendum on the Voice has highlighted the need for better regulation of social media platforms to prevent falsehoods corroding our democratic discourse.
In The Policymaker, @adawko and @RysFarthing argue that regulation that places duties of care on platforms to mitigate against both individual and societal risks might be our best path forward.

Thinktank @ausreset ran an experiment on social media. They created Voice ads with deliberate misinformation & submitted them to @X, @facebook & @tiktokaustralia. Almost all were approved (the ads never ran).
The platforms need to do better! au.reset.tech/news/report-mi… #auspol

Should tech companies write their own rules when it comes to children's online safety & privacy?
@RysFarthing & @BessantJudith discuss new #research and make a case for strong regulation.
