New laws have been proposed that could give the Australian government power to block websites from access in Australia in an effort to prevent the livestreaming of terror situations.
The government passed legislation in April which made companies and their staff liable for not quickly removing violent material from access, however this legislation was criticised as being ‘rushed’.
A report released on Sunday proposed updates to improve this legislation as well as the development of protocols in the event of another Christchurch-style incident.
