Tweaked Digital Duty of Care bill introduced to parliament

Key points

• Communications Minister Anika Wells has introduced her amended Digital Duty of Care bill to the House of Representatives. Labor's majority in the lower house means it is expected to face little opposition there.
• The bill must still pass the Senate, where the Greens want stronger measures, including a right for individuals to seek compensation from tech companies. The Coalition opposes the bill, with Liberal frontbencher James Paterson calling it unsalvageable.
• The bill would require big tech companies to reduce online harm, including by letting users opt out of social media feed algorithms.
