In addition to the new powers that force global social media giants to unmask anonymous online trolls, the Morrison government has today announced a parliamentary committee to put big tech under the microscope. Australians are rightly concerned about whether big tech is doing enough to keep kids safe online. As the Prime Minister said, big tech created these platforms. They have a responsibility to ensure that their users are safe. Big tech has big questions to answer, but we want to hear from real Australians—from teachers, parents, athletes, small businesses and more—about their experience and what it is that they want to see changed. This inquiry will give Australians an opportunity to air concerns and give the tech companies an opportunity to deliver solutions. The Morrison government is committed to keeping Australians safe at all times, in the real world and online. (Time expired)
