What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

The Australian Government is preparing a draft law that would require social media platforms to give users the power to switch off algorithmic recommendation systems. This proposed digital duty of care framework would also require platforms to better identify and act on problematic or illegal content to protect vulnerable users.

The move is aimed at curbing the spread of content that reinforces harmful behaviors, including those related to body image, women’s safety, and child protection. The legislation would allow users to revert to chronological content feeds.
