INSANE: Dangerous content a growing menace - The Real Truth

Once again we have reports of dangerous and illegal activity performed purely for the purpose of posting a video on social media. This only encourages others to copy it.

Our TV and radio, telephone system and postal service are all highly regulated in regards to the content they provide, to the extent that they can be shut down if illegal content is not removed. No such laws govern social media. Facebook, Instagram, X and TikTok are all foreign owned and their profits go overseas. They should be allowed to operate in Australia only if they conform to a clear set of laws regarding their public content.
