The Prime Minister wants world leaders to crackdown on social media companies to prevent violent videos, like the Christchurch mosques massacre, being shared online.

But they mainly rely on reporting tools to stop live feeds, which typically draw their attention to inappropriate content after the fact.

The same year, the sexual assault of a 15-year-old's was streamed on Facebook live in Chicago, and none of the people who watched it reported the incident to police.Professor Pasquale said while live streaming technology presented certain risks, the"real concern" was live content being shared later. At ABC News we took the decision not to use the sickening footage from a Go Pro feed live streamed by the alleged Christchurch shooter and we chose not to publish excerpts of his so-called manifesto.

Typical.

Scare tactics and creating fear won’t stop us. We are not 100 years old trusting on the telegram for communication. This dystopian view when it comes to social media is overhyped. It’s the future, get used to it. ScottMorrison

Again the Libs say they Want and again they do Nothing. GROW A PAIR

More control over free speech 😡

He can't and won't do jack shit ScottMorrisonMP and almost every other politician uses the platform to scare and make announcements about personal thoughts etc so if any rules are imposed that will likely stuff there whole campaign 🤥🤥🤥🤥

Desperately need to hold these social media platforms to account.

I want ScottMorrisonMP To go away and hide under a rock for the next 2 month in silence.

Scott Morrison has warned against a growing culture of “ tribalism” but failed to act on it himself

Ask Rupert he’ll know.

He also fails to check himself, racist hypocrite.

Who seriously expects him (or anyone) to have a sensible answer to this question

There is only so much you can do for three reasons, you never see this stuff coming, you can never beat technology with technology and finally there is a potentially intractable problem around objectively defining what is acceptable without the risk of you becoming oppressive.

Never has one event brought about so much social change: Politicians physically-verbally attacked for expressing opinions NZ gun laws Definition of hate speech tightened daily Left demanding censure of social media This after years of Islamic beheading videos and no action!

He won’t dare take on Murdoch or Facebook or Twitter etc, but he will happily lay the boot into refugees

ScuMo ScottMorrisonMP: Won't someone else do something? Sure, call the election & the next govt can try to clean up your mess (again). AusPol

Found out today, if you set your country to Germany in the Twitter app, then hate speech is reduced, due to stricter laws. It seems Twitter IS able to comply with such laws.

Take the lead Mr Morrison rather than expecting others to lead so you may simply follow. Too worried about the economics to take on the Tech giants? I feel most of your citizens will back you. But perhaps those citizens mean little to you. Your actions will tell us.

Does that suggest he is a leaner not a lifter?

..we should get all our info. from approved gov. sources, screened for who to vote for, they would only say nice things about our great leaders, tells us what to think about the economy and how lucky we are to be given the few scraps of food from our Cayman Islands owners.

We need laws against thought and expression now!!! Please censor us government. The media monopolies are doing such a bad job at telling us what/how to think now. The Ministry of Truth must have increased powers.

From Mr Dog whistle himself......

Fails to offer even more aggressive Gov censorship and destruction of free speech. This from supposed journalist whos existence hinges on free speech. ABC, activists, not journalists.

The first step, they must stop this live stream facility. Both facebook and instagram.

When did the lnp have any clue about technology

GAB was almost taken offline because of people saying anti-Semitic things on there - facebook live streams a massacre and no one wants to touch it... funny that.

Classic ScoMo

Oh ohh
