Australia’s poised to give social media users back control with new draft laws that let you opt out of algorithm-driven feeds—seeing content based on your actual connections, not what the machine thinks you want. Part of a wider “digital duty of care,” platforms will face stricter rules to remove harmful or illegal content, especially targeting minors from damaging material like body image issues or violent misogyny. But critics argue it’s still too little: they want algorithms turned off by default, not just turnable off. Meanwhile, opposition voices question the government’s approach, pointing to past failures of outright bans for kids under 16—and say parents should have more say. The debate over online safety and platform accountability is heating up fast.
