澳大利亚拟立数字照护义务法 不安全平台最高面临1.092亿澳元罚款
澳大利亚政府提出《数字照护义务法案》草案，拟为在线平台设定正式的安全义务：不安全的数字平台最高面临1.092亿澳元罚款。草案着眼于在线服务的运作方式、向用户呈现的内容与功能，以及用户可作出的选择，政府已就社交媒体信息流用户选择的相关规则公开征求意见，咨询期至11月5日。
该提案沿袭澳大利亚此前对16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体设限的做法，但范围更广，不限于谁能使用社交媒体，而是覆盖平台如何运营。在法案通过议会批准之前，所提义务、权力与罚款仍属提案阶段，尚不具法律强制力。
最终立法走向将取决于各方就平台问责范围与受影响用户救济方式的协商。澳大利亚近年来持续收紧数字平台监管，从儿童社交媒体禁令到此次照护义务法案，平台合规成本预计进一步上升。（GSM 据澳大利亚政府提案及媒体报道）
Australia Proposes A$109.2 Million Penalties for Unsafe Digital Platforms
The Australian government has proposed a Digital Duty of Care Bill that would impose formal safety obligations on online services, with penalties of up to A$109.2 million for unsafe digital platforms. The proposal focuses on how online services operate, the content and features they expose users to, and the choices available to users. The government has invited public submissions on proposed rules governing users' choice of social media feeds, with consultation open until November 5, 2026.
The bill follows Australia's restrictions on social media access for children under 16, but takes a broader approach covering platform operations rather than only who can access social media. Until the bill secures parliamentary approval, the proposed duties, powers and penalties remain proposals rather than enforceable law.
The final legislation will depend on negotiations over how far platform accountability should extend and what remedies should be available to affected users. (GSM, based on the Australian government proposal and media reporting)
