5 Important Updates in Australia Today

Reading Time: < 1 minute

In a recent court battle, Twitter, now known as X, emerged victorious against the Australian eSafety Commissioner. The social media platform was granted a temporary order to block footage of the Sydney stabbing, which was later lifted by a Judge. Despite X geo-blocking the videos, the eSafety Commissioner argued that they were still accessible to Australians using VPNs. As a result, the Commission issued stronger international takedown notices to X for the content. Federal Court Justice Geoffrey Kennett’s full reasoning for the decision will be provided at a later date.

In other tech news, digital driver’s licenses are now available in Victoria through the myVicRoads and Service Victoria apps, four years after being introduced in NSW and South Australia. Additionally, OpenAI has unveiled a new AI model, Chat GPT-4o, which boasts improvements in video, audio, and text generation. The model is free for all users and has shown impressive capabilities in natural conversation response times.

Furthermore, a study published in the Technology, Mind and Behaviour journal suggests that internet use can have a positive impact on well-being. While researchers caution against a one-size-fits-all approach, the majority of responses indicated a beneficial effect on well-being from internet use.

Lastly, Apple’s Vision Pro VR headset, previously only available in the U.S., is rumored to be expanding to international markets such as Germany, France, Australia, and more. An official announcement may come at WWDC 2024 next month. Stay tuned for more updates in the tech world.
