Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Ms Frances Haugen
Ms Frances Haugen:
I strongly support the formation of a class system. I agree that there are harms that currently are not represented either by specific safety Bills or are not being addressed by the social media companies. At the same time, it is important to think about the life journey of a complaint. It is not just about someone being bullied, it is about how we find the appropriate remedies for that bullying. By beginning to form together in classes, we can have more robust conversations on where should be the systemic interventions and how these products need to be changed.
