AMA Submission to Senate Inquiry into Influence of International Digital Platforms
The AMA is concerned about the influence that international digital platforms have on the health and wellbeing of children, population health literacy, misinformation and the use of personal data and algorithms to market unhealthy products and encourage overuse of screens.
Currently in Australia, the lack of transparency by international digital platforms and the ways in which they collect, share and use data, leaves individuals exposed to algorithms based on their online habits.
The AMA welcomes the opportunity to provide a health perspective, through the Senate Inquiry into the Influence of International Digital platforms. Our submission into this inquiry was lodged on 17th March 2023.
