Concerns govt may impose restrictions on ‘ability to debate’ on social media

Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton has raised concerns the government may propose it has a responsibility to determine what is “so-called harmful content” on social media at an upcoming parliamentary inquiry.

I'm an adult, I can choose what I believe and what I don't - without the governments 'assistance' (translated as censorship).

[@SeanBotha]

Look up TOR no country can censor it

YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME ALBANESE .......WE WILL FIGHT FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND YOU OUT

[@craigianna2844]

No we don’t..Only you politicians are sooking….What a wimp….

[@Ro-dent]

Nobody in Australia except the politicians want this. Besides, as if a foreign media company owner/boss is going to fly all the way to Australia for an enquiry. The only person stupid enough to fly that far is a certain politician that's already here.

They removed my post already censoring

[@GazGuitarz]

Always copy your post before posting. Then if they remove it you can repost but slightly change what you think they find offensive. Chances are it will pass 2nd try with a touch of modification.

​@@GazGuitarzEvery word is offensive to lefttube now.

James has been subject to more misinformation in his short years, than a non Bolt would ever absorb in a lifetime. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Australians do not want it you are telling lies.

[@ShirleyYAJOKIN-cx3ro]

I love being told what Australians want, especially when it is more censorship. Makes me proud to be an Aussie knowing my fellow Australians feel the same way.

[@jamestinning8900]

It's simple Jack, you don't publish lies, as lies have no societal value, and therefore not covered under free speech.
