Australian social media users to be offered choice to opt out of algorithms
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Australian government announced a new requirement for social media platforms to give users the option to select a non-algorithmic default feed. This mandate applies to both new and existing account holders.
WHY IT MATTERS
This policy gives individuals greater control over the content they consume online by shifting away from strictly algorithmic curation.
A government statement said on Tuesday social media platforms would be required to send a notification to new and existing users offering them a choice over their default feed.
