Anti-trolling bill by Australian govt does little to deal with online bullying

<p>The Social Media (Anti-Trolling) Bill 2022, was unveiled by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in November. The bill will serve as a legal way to deal with online trolls and remove toxic content on social media platforms. Now this bill has officially made its way into the Australian Parliament. While the bill is titled as an Anti-Trolling Bill, the proposed laws that come along with it are mainly focused on people to raise lawsuits under the pretext of defamation.</p>
