Google’s parent company has warned it may need to scrape personal data on all its platforms, including Gmail and Google Drive, to comply with new rules on sharing pornography and fetish material under the Albanese government’s proposed digital duty of care laws.
The Albanese government introduced the laws into parliament last month and they passed the lower house on October 29. They apply stricter rules for people under 18 years old, especially to prevent them from seeing eating disorders, extreme violence and other harmful material. Platforms face penalties of more than $100 million.
