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

'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
