When: Thursday, 17th March 2022
Time: 11:00am – 12:00pm

Providing users with a platform to contribute to public debate without having to reveal their identity has been seen as one of the building blocks of online communication. But a growing awareness of the impact of online harm has led to some questioning of the desirability of anonymous commenting. 

There are strong arguments on both sides of the debate about online anonymity.

This webinar will explore the interconnecting issues of online defamation and regulation of social media content raised in the Social Media (Anti-Trolling) Bill 2022. 


Moderated by Angela Flannery, Partner, Holding Redlich, and Committee member IIC Australian Chapter.

Angela is a partner in Holding Redlich’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) group. Angela has over 20 years’ experience as a partner in private practice and in senior Australian Federal Government roles including as General Counsel and First Assistant Secretary at the Department of Communications and the Arts.
