Efforts to turn the tide on harmful content online.

NetSafe has reached an agreement with Meta, Google, TikTok, Amazon and Twitter for a code of practice, obliging the tech giants to actively reduce damaging material. 

It's self-regulated and voluntary, but NetSafe's Brent Carey told Mike Hosking it'll hold the companies accountable through a public complaints process.

He says that'll help determine what's considered harmful.

Carey says there are some definitions already, but they'll be tested over time through the complaints process.
