Show Notes
It’s National Child Protection Week. Australian authorities have served Apple, Microsoft and Meta with world-first legal orders this week to come clean on what they are doing to detect and report child sex abuse material or face fines of more than half a million dollars a day.
Australia’s move will be watched internationally- in the US, there has been bitter debate over whether child security should trump privacy. We speak to filmmaker Simon Nasht about the orders, about the potential implications and why the world is watching.
Simon’s film The Children in the Pictures is available at SBS OnDemand and will be featured on SBS in late October.
