The Coalition is claiming that soon, you won’t be able to criticise the Prime Minister on the internet.

It’s part of its campaign against Labor’s proposed Digital Duty of Care – which the opposition has branded the “Albo-rithm” – arguing it would give the government the power to decide what Australians can see and say online.
