A new Digital Communication Bill cleared the Cabinet on Thursday.

The bill states that online content creators only take responsibility for their content and not for those who store and transmit it. The bill also states that social media platforms will not face legal repercussions if it removes copyrighted content immediately upon notice.

Premier William Lai said that the bill, along with the new revision of the Communication Regulatory Act, aims to help foster an industry that promotes creativity and fair competition.    [SOURCE]
