The Australian Government is drafting new laws to prevent social media companies from leaving videos filmed by terrorists on their sites following the Christchurch tragedy.
The proposed legislation would force social media companies to remove violent terrorist footage as soon as they were notified about it or face escalating penalties the longer it is left up.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison is set to meet with social media executives today, saying that he will have to take action if social media companies aren’t willing to make prompt changes to their platforms.
