Last week, the federal government finally announced a long awaited draft that is set to regulate the relationship between social media companies and news companies. Now, this comes after a number of years of consultation, of which TDA was a part. And it's now up to the tech companies and news companies to respond to the draft before it's set to hit parliament later in the year. In today's podcast we'll explain what the legislation sets out to achieve and how it might impact your social media feeds.
Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Zara Seidler

Last week, the federal government finally announced a long-awaited draft that is set to regulate the relationship between social media companies and news companies. Now, this comes after a number of years of consultation, of which TDA was a part, and it's now up to the tech companies and news companies to respond to the draft before it's set to hit Parliament later in the year. And so we thought on today's podcast we'd do something a little bit different.
