What the debate was about

Auto-generated

Following on from these broad concepts, the provisions of the new Part 5 will provide the electoral commission with monitoring and investigations functions with regard to the dissemination or disinformation relating to online electoral information and misinformation relating to online electoral process information, as well as functions to prevent manipulative or inauthentic behaviours online. There appears to be no impact assessment on how the provisions will impact fundamental rights during electoral periods, no assessment on the volume of material and the electoral commission will be required to review the threshold for platforms to report content to the electoral commission.

It is restricted to an electoral period as the electoral commission is regulating it.
