Coalition outlines plan to pressure internet giants over cyberbullying

Communications minister to say digital platforms need to 'take more responsibility' on harmful content as new act proposed to boost online safety

The Morrison government is putting internet giants on notice about cyberbullying, outlining a plan to tackle the problem in a new cyber safety consultation paper released by the communications minister.
