Considerations
Social media is a dynamic and rapidly changing platform
Regulation and policy needs to catch up
![Page 27: Dr. Sally Gainsbury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062900/58cea6a51a28abb26e8b6363/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The University of Sydney Page 27
Consider what is appropriate for gambling companies on SNS– Address volume, timing, and targeting of content– Consider public image & reputation
![Page 28: Dr. Sally Gainsbury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062900/58cea6a51a28abb26e8b6363/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The University of Sydney Page 28
Consider – should gambling companies be posting about this?
![Page 29: Dr. Sally Gainsbury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062900/58cea6a51a28abb26e8b6363/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

What counts as advertising?
– Branded content– Official pages– Videos and media– Free-play games– Shared content
![Page 32: Dr. Sally Gainsbury](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062900/58cea6a51a28abb26e8b6363/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The University of Sydney Page 32
Next steps?
– Can social media be regulated?– What about offshore companies?– Can companies self-regulate?– How can the community respond?– Role for counter-advertising & help?
– Thoughts…?
