Huge fines for Apple and Meta + 'Not the truth police’ AEC on influencers

Thursday Headlines: Another Coalition backflip, Apple and Meta fined hundreds of millions, Sydney man charged over NSW court leak, Bunnings strikes agreement with 'terrified' plant growers and the viral twinnies meet Jimmy Kimmel.

Deep Dive:
This election campaign has seen its fair share of controversy, from alleged criminal activity to mass leaflet drops aimed at discrediting candidates, and influencers causing a stir.

The Australian Electoral Commission is the body that’s been investigating it all, so voters know where political content is coming from in the lead up to the election.

In this episode of The Briefing, Tara Cassidy is joined by the AEC’s Evan Eakin-Smyth to unpack some of the probes that have made headlines, why we need the AEC and whether its role is about to change thanks to modern media, and potential new laws.
