悉尼,11月9日——谷歌(Google)一名驻澳大利亚的政策负责人周一表示,澳大利亚一项拟议中的互联网法律可能迫使谷歌阻止18岁以下用户使用其Gmail服务,这凸显了行业的一项警告:该草案存在监管越界的风险。
SYDNEY, Nov 9 - A proposed Australian internet law could force Google to block under-18s from using its Gmail service, an Australia-based company policy head said on Monday, underscoring an industry warning that the draft regulation risks overreach.
根据这项《数字注意义务》法案,互联网公司必须证明自己正在采取措施清除有害内容,否则将面临最高1.09亿澳元(7510万美元)的罚款。该法案已在澳大利亚众议院通过,但还需要获得跨党派支持才能在参议院通过。
Under the Digital Duty of Care legislation, which has already passed Australia’s House of Representatives but needs cross-party support to pass the Senate, internet companies must show they are taking steps to weed out harmful content or face a fine of up to A$109 million ($75.1 million).
网络公司和言论自由倡导者表示,该法律可能赋予监管机构过大的自由裁量权来判断什么是有害内容,从而迫使平台删除内容。谷歌的警告反映出一种担忧,即该法律可能渗透到互联网的日常使用环节。
Online companies and free speech advocates say the law could give regulators too much discretion to decide what is harmful, placing pressure on platforms to take down content. Google’s warning reflects concern that the law could filter into everyday parts of the internet.
谷歌旗下视频流媒体网站YouTube的澳大利亚和新西兰政策主管雷切尔·洛德在参议院的一场听证会上表示,该法律中有一项条款要求,在儿童可能看到色情内容的情况下进行年龄验证,这“可能要求我们对即时通讯、电子邮件和私人文件存储等日常通信服务进行年龄验证并阻止访问”。
A section of the law requiring age checks if there was a risk of a child seeing pornography "could require us to age assure and block access to everyday communication services like messaging, email and private file storage", said Rachel Lord, head of policy in Australia and New Zealand for Google’s YouTube streaming website, at a Senate hearing.





“我们说的是可能对私人通信或文件存储进行侵入性监控,”她补充道。
"We are talking about potentially intrusive monitoring within private communications or file storage," she added.
Meta、TikTok和Snap的代表也表达了类似担忧,警告该法案可能抑制网络交流,因为它允许监管机构在判定哪些内容或行为有害方面拥有广泛的自由裁量权,同时取代一些现有的强制性行业准则。
Representatives from Meta, TikTok and Snap voiced similar concerns, warning the bill could chill online communications by allowing regulators broad discretion to determine what content or conduct is harmful while replacing some existing mandatory industry codes.
有几位代表认为,这种不确定性带来了风险,即平台为了避免高额监管处罚而过度审核内容。政府表示,一套广泛的规则是确保互联网安全的唯一途径。听证会仍在继续。GOOGL现在便宜吗?
Several argued the uncertainty created a risk platforms would over-moderate content to avoid large regulatory penalties. The government has said a broad set of rules is the only way to ensure a safe internet. The hearing continues. Is GOOGL a bargain right now?
