To combat violence against women, the Prime Minister yesterday announced a raft of measures designed to tackle online harm. They include a trial of age-verification technology, and legislation to ban "the creation and non-consensual distribution of deep-fake pornography". 

Alastair MacGibbon, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberCX and the inaugural Australian eSafety Commissioner says while he would like to say the age verification technology would work, he believes people can "get around it" if they want to access content. He says giving the pilot a go is worthwhile, but ultimately he believes it will fail.
