Great piece Shaun. Misinformation is difficult to define and there are some kinds of untruths that are culturally and socially acceptable. Like religion. I sympathise with ACMA's position here and feel that there is a need to enforce a more rigorous transparency regime. The big issue is the one you highlight - that platforms are going to go way beyond the necessary in order to avoid the fine, and in so doing censor a lot of information that may be legitimate.
