Australia has announced plans to implement a Digital Duty of Care, requiring social media platforms to take proactive measures to prevent online harms such as bullying, predatory behavior, and the promotion of destructive content. The proposed changes to the Online Safety Act aim to enhance user safety in the digital realm.
The legislation will hold digital platforms accountable for ensuring the well-being of Australians online, with a focus on preventing various forms of harm. This initiative comes in response to concerns about the negative impact of social media on individuals, particularly young people.
