Well Alan, who would you trust to decide what is misinformation, and
is an unknown bureaucrat to be trusted ?
Lets face it they never realised how impossible it is to install
28,000 solar panels in one day.
They also thought we can build houses for 1800 immigrants a day.
What makes you think they can possibly make sensible decisions on all
those hundreds if not thousands of news items and posts every day ?

Frankly, I doubt that even IA systems could do it.
Typical public service, wouldn't have a clue as to what is involved.

Kudos Bezza, Indyvidual, Diver Dan, ttbn. Binoy is right that censorship is bad- but wrong that national security shouldn't have a level of censorship.

Yes Canem, I agree that defence matters are different but surely this
latest fad AI could hold those posts for defence experts.
What if the PM said something that was misinformation Like;
"I did not read those pages, why would I"

This very post could be said to be misinformation. My implication is
that Albo did read those pages, after all it would be dereliction of duty to not read them.
This just shows what a muddle everything could get into.
I hope Graham reads this, as his organisation will have to make a
policy on what to do after the legislation becomes law.
Do we just do as we are told ?
Do we tell the poster what happened to his post ?
Do we tell everyone on here why his post was deleted ?
Do we publish statistics on how many posts deleted and why ?
I can see a lot of legal discussions will be needed.
Glad I won't have to be involved.
There is a system that does not use the internet that could carry
posts internationally. Hmmm.

My last comment was predictive.
I have just this morning have read about a system that cannot have
posts deleted.
Have a look at mice.gg and it has a system which I have not worked out
exactly how it uses "Block Chain" which I thought was a financial
ledger for record keeping etc.
It may well be a way to put a finger up to ACMA.

One of the worst parts of the proposed new legislation is that it
does not apply to the government, and how wide is that, pollies also ?

Aaaarrrgghhh, I forgot to add its URL !

mice.gg

Strange one that !
