The cute thing about this is that there are no big fines for political parties, media pundits and companies, or influencers producing and disseminating disinformation — but the tech companies will get fined if they don't stop it spreading on their platforms.

what is Australia going to do when they make it untenable for any multinational tech companies to operate in the country?
