Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

State Response to Online Disinformation and Media and Digital Literacy: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

The online safety code is under the OSMR Act. It deals with harmful online content but not with disinformation as such, unless the disinformation is in a certain form. For example, if it is a video that incites hatred or violence against a group of people on account of, for example, their race or religion, then it might then come into the online safety code. However, it is not directly dealing with disinformation.
