Fantastic.

Just listening to a recent discussion Senator Antic had with staff from the Department Home Affairs. Staff explained that the department has and does use a "service provider" to discern whether social media comments breach the media outlet's own guidelines. The context here is Covid dis/mis information.

Guidelines as to what to look out for are provided from the Department of Health. The service provider finds, for example, a Facebook breach and refers it back to Home Affairs. The department then contacts Facebook who culls the person or the comment. So our Home Affairs ad Health departments work for social media companies.

Senator Antic asked Labor's Senator Murray Watt whether we should expect the same behaviour with regard to The Voice. Senator Watt would not answer.
