Speaking at a privacy symposium in Sydney, Australia, the judge said that legislation would protect privacy, but also safeguard freedom of expression on the internet. Lord Leveson was criticised for only giving the internet a very limited mention in his 2,000-page report on UK press regulations and standards last month. He was accused of being out of touch after the report suggested that online material did not have the same reach and credibility as traditional print media.
