Labor government moves to double penalties for big tech noncompliance

Communications Minister Anika Wells has commented on the Labor government’s efforts to hold major technology companies accountable during Question Time on Monday. “Despite our immense progress, I am not satisfied that tech companies are doing everything they can to keep under-16s off their platforms," Ms Wells said. “The eSafety commissioner is actively investigating noncompliance by five major platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube. “The commissioner has found these companies are adopting a range of dirty tricks that undermine Australia's law. Today, the Albanese government will introduce a bill that gives eSafety more tools in their belt to take on these billion-dollar social media companies. We are doubling the maximum penalty from $49.5 million to $99 million."
