AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoSocial Media Law & Kids’ Safety: A US appeals court cleared the way for thousands of “social media addiction” lawsuits against Meta and TikTok to proceed, rejecting arguments that Section 230 blocks suits—another pressure point for platforms as Australia debates tougher under-16 rules. Australian Policy Fallout: In Canberra, the Senate hears from parents pushing higher penalties on tech giants over child harm, while Meta’s enforcement moves (including removal of hundreds of thousands of under-16 accounts) keep the spotlight on compliance. Media Bargaining: Australia’s reworked media law is set to force more deals between tech platforms and local news outlets, with “journalism matters” messaging gaining traction. Housing & Standards: NSW opposition housing spokesman Andrew Bragg backtracked after saying low-income earners would “definitely” accept “substandard” homes under a reduced building code—then insisted the homes would still be “strong, safe and sound.” Energy & MarCom: Quantum Australia touts $83.1m economic impact and new quantum ventures; meanwhile, battery uptake and grid storage projects keep energy messaging front and centre.
