Richard Pascoe The Adelaide Tech Guy 9th September 2026

This week on Wake Up Call with Josh and Steve, the conversation takes an interesting turn as they dive into the world of social media and AI. The Australian government is proposing a digital duty of care, which would hold social media companies responsible for identifying risks on their platforms and taking steps to prevent users from being harmed. This includes dealing with illegal material, bullying, and other forms of psychological or social harm, especially for users under 18. The proposal also gives Australians the option to choose how they want to interact with their social media feeds, either through algorithms or by selecting and viewing posts from accounts they've chosen to follow.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
