Chris Chapman, the President of the IIC, responds to article in Sydney Morning Herald

Chris Chapman, the President of the IIC, was asked yesterday by a journalist from the Sydney Morning Herald his views on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram banning President Trump.

He responded with this:

“This debate around blocking Trump and the evolving responsibilities (or otherwise) of dominant social media platforms more generally is just one of thousands of examples of the failure of all principal legislation to be ‘fit for purpose’ in this post-digital age.

To the contrary, society needs deep, considered, collaborative, cohesive, ‘stitched up’ public policy: who’s up for that?”
