谷歌:《防假消息法》或阻碍科技行业创新发展

针对我国国会通过《防止网络假消息与网络操纵法案》,科技巨头谷歌发表声明,认为该法案对于未来科技创新是有负面效果的,而我国政府正积极发展高科技行业来推动国家经济增长,若《防假消息法》推出,或阻碍高科技行业的创新发展。

日前,国会于周三晚上10点期间,三读通过《防假消息法》,等于赋予政府与部长权力管控社交媒体网页如脸书、推特所发出的帖文。他们可以向被指涉及散播“假消息”者发出要求更正、甚至撤下文章或内容的指示。

一旦被判定为可能破坏社会公众利益的虚假消息,涉事公司可面对最高可达100万新元(约74万美元)的罚款;而个人可被判最高10年监禁。

该法案虽然声称并不会涵盖任何评论,但也会持续与公开的假信息对抗,避免在这个多元种族的国家助长负面效应。

而打击假信息的第一步将会是向假信息者提出“更正指示”,若经上诉后法院裁定该信息确切为“假信息”,政府才会实施第二步-监刑与罚款。

科技公司、维权人士以及新闻记者皆认为该法案会阻碍我国人民的言论自由。

谷歌忧法案阻碍言论自由,将与政府积极沟通

谷歌发言人在《防假消息法》通过后隔天即发出声明,表示“虚假信息是一项充满挑战性的课题,而我们也正努力解决该问题。”

他表明,对于该法案的内容有所保留与担忧,认为法案内容会为科技创新发展带来阻碍。

“我们对于法案的实施表示担忧,故将积极与政府沟通。”

我国正在积极发展高科技行业,已有多家著名的高科技公司设立其区域办事处和重要设备,例如:谷歌(Google)、推特(Twitter)以及脸书(Facebook)已将亚太区总部设立在狮城。

去年脸书宣布将会投资逾10亿新元在国内建立亚洲区域第一家数据中心,预计2022年开始运营。

我国也有设置了多家高科技制造业公司以及不断在开创新生技术。

人权观察(Human Rights Watch)亚洲区副主任菲尔.罗宾逊(Phil Robertson)认为近日通过的《防假消息法》是对许多网络新闻的致命一击,也促使东南亚国家的网络自由产生寒蝉效应。

然而,内政部长兼律政部长尚穆根在国会中否认该法案会制止言论自由并指出法案是针对科技公司因为科技公司无法实施很好的自我监控。

尚穆根表示“言论自由并不在法案的监控底下,我们是讨论虚假信息、网络假帐户、互联网等等。”
