Digital duty laws still allow manosphere content and conspiracy theories, says Wells – video

The communications minister, Anika Wells, says adults can still listen to 'manosphere' podcasts or say the moon landing was fake under the new digital duty of care legislation introduced to parliament today. Using her speech to the National Press Club, Wells tries to dispel myths that the government’s duty of care bills will amount to censorship and stop criticism of the government. 'We are not controlling free speech, we are not conducting covert surveillance,' she says. 'The digital duty of care is not a stepping stone for regulating misinformation and disinformation'
