<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black">Building cohesive, productive online communities depends on good governance relationships – particularly with the platforms that host our conversations and content.
But increasingly transnational platform providers are being portrayed as reluctant to control the violence and misinformation they host, and slow to provide moderation tools that help community managers minimise harmful content and deal with bad behaviour.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

that this is an opportunity to rethink the basic rules of how the Internet operates, with human rights in focus. He proposes we need a new constitutionalism: real limits on how power is exercised online.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Legal Lead of the Creative Commons Australia project and deputy chair of Digital Rights Watch, an Australian non-profit which seeks to ensure that Australians are equipped, empowered and enabled to uphold their digital rights.
