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/more-ambi…
DIGI MD @SunitaBose writes in today’s SMH opinion pages about the rushed execution of the Online Safety Bill that falls far short of being smart regulation, with a narrow lens to the problems, an overbroad scope of digital services covered, and a complete lack of oversight.
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/federal/…
DIGI supports the Online Safety Bill's intent to improve and promote online safety, but the drafting takes a micro approach to that goal while capturing any digital service in its scope. DIGI’s MD @SunitaBose testified at a Senate hearing on Friday and spoke to the AFR about it.
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.
