The Australian Parliament Joint Select Committee on Social Media and Australian Society has released its Second interim report on digital platforms and the traditional news media. The report covers various issues and provides certain recommendations, including for the taxation of social media platforms like Meta (Facebook). This includes a recommendation from the Australian Greens that the Australian Government consider implementing a digital services tax to ensure global giants pay their fair share back to the communities they profit off, similar to those implemented in countries like France and Canada.
