CYBER UNCUT: Government backdoors into the world's social media giants and setting ethical standards online

In this episode of the Cyber Uncut podcast, Daniel Croft and Liam Garman sit down to unpack whether the federal government's social media age restrictions really address the risks young Australians face online and how governments are looking to create backdoors into social media and tech giants. They begin the podcast by discussing Meta's AI-enabled age verification on Instagram and whether it will actually keep children safe online – before examining alternative social media use cases and the risks they pose for young Aussies. Croft and Garman then discuss the recent cyber incident against UK retail giant M&S and its (lack of) communication strategy. The pair wrap up by discussing how Florida lawmakers are pushing to pass a social media backdoor bill and other examples where this has been floated around the world.
