Snapchat escapes Australian cyberbullying crackdown, for now

Australias cyberbullying crackdown wont see the country putting any legal muscle into forcing smaller social media firms like Snapchat to take down harassing content, a Parliament spokesman said on Tuesday. New laws are due to be introduced to parliament before the end of the year. They include a two-tier system targeted at large firms, such as Facebook and Twitter, that have a presence, and employees, in Australia. The laws are targeted at the firms, rather than at the users who produce the offending content, given that many of those are children.”]
