Australians will be able to switch off social media algorithms under planned legislation

Comments

1. Ava: unrelated to social media algorithms but i still think they should be forced to label their bots clearly
2. Mirage Talon: what's the logic behind mandating this specific opt-out and not something more user-centric like let the algorithm be defaulted off unless they're actively engaged?
3. Dusk Specter: algorithms are just algorithms, can't someone focus on fixing the real issues in politics?
4. Selim: algorithms are just code, where's the real transparency on who's pulling these strings in australia?
5. Cipher Talon: what actually makes this legislation 'substantial' if they can just choose when or if to follow through?
6. Bianchiisla: finally some accountability for these massive data farms
7. Mirage Shard: algorithms are like invisible hands guiding your behavior, don't pretend they're helping you
8. Iris: don't really get how this helps people who just want to scroll without being fed crap
9. Solar Warden: a 5-yr-old algorithm switch isn't going to make us less addicted
10. Quiet Shard: at first glance it looks like more lip service than real change, but I suppose something's better than nothing
