Australia’s peak sex worker organisation is concerned the Online Safety Bill will have “dire consequences” for sex workers, with many having pivoted to online work as a result of the pandemic.
Gala Vanting, National Programs Manager at Scarlet Alliance, believes the Bill would allow users to complain about any sexual material online by providing extremely broad grounds for “offensive” material.
Ms Vanting said sex workers are already faced with mass censorship, shadow banning and having their content removed from social media platforms.
“Some people work exclusively online, some people work partly online, and some people work in person, but use digital tools to advertise their services, stay safe at work, share safety information and connect with their peers,” she told
The nation's top internet cop is set to be given greater powers to identify internet trolls and crackdown on harmful content.
New legislation will be introduced to parliament today to boost the capabilities of the eSafety Commission, allowing them to tackle serious adult cyber abuse.
The laws would allow the Commission to target perpetrators beyond social media, including on platforms like online gaming forums and dating apps.
National eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant said her office needs the tools to identify online trolls and protect victims.
Communications Minister Paul Fletcher said the legislation strikes the right balance between respecting freedom of speech and protecting people against cyber abuse.
