<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">We need to differentiate between what would meet industry standards of best practice, and the rather lower threshold of falling into the category of "recklessness". So company directors can either ask the question now, what threshold implementation clears the "recklessness" bar, or be faced with the same question before a court.<br><br>Now I would say that for instance, if the eSecurity Director posts the CRC of a file as being "abhorrent violent" content, and your company doesn't expeditiously take down that material, expect problems down the pike. I doubt a CRC check alone is sufficient. I'd say a fingerprinting system to match altered copies of the subject file should be implemented. It doesn't have to work in all cases. However it probably should be able to be shown it catches the majority of unsophisticated attempts to circumvent the content filter. Anything less, and company directors haven't done their due diligence.<br><br>I am not a lawyer.

dominance of Facebook and Google.<br>
Then they pass a law which effectively cements their dominance in place.<br>
<br>
Facebook and Google are at a size where they can actually put some <br>
serious money and effort in to these kinds of video analysis.<br>
Sure it still sucks, but they can at least attempt to do it.<br>
<br>
If I had a novel idea involving live streaming, I make a start up and it <br>
becomes popular.<br>
But a small start up in Australia has no hope of approaching the types <br>
of analysis that Facebook and Google can do.<br>
<br>
The politicians just use the same arguments they use with cryptography.<br>
"We pass the laws, you guys are smart and have algorithms. We are sure <br>
you can figure out how to comply."<br>
<br>
What the government should be doing is producing the video analysis <br>
algorithms themselves.<br>
Then the law can state that online companies must use their model to be <br>
compliant with the law.<br>
The responsibility then falls on to the government, startups are on <br>
equal footing as the dominant companies and complying is relatively easy.<br>
<br>
But that solution is hard (arguably unsolvable at the moment) and when <br>
the model inevitably fails the government wouldn't be able to make a <br>
bogeyman out of the big tech companies.<br>
