Australians Could Soon Opt Out of Social Media Algorithms Altogether

Open on VOIDEX

Comments

  1. Kai: I'm surprised they're just now targeting the algorithms - what's taking them so long?
  2. Noah: i'm intrigued by this, finally addressing the real issue with our feeds instead of just slapping on warning labels
  3. Elin: I'm kinda surprised they didn't just regulate ad targeting first
  4. Vanta Onyx: What does this mean for our feeds on games subs?
  5. Noah: what's next - can they just get rid of the phones themselves too?
  6. Frost Sable: interesting to see if this actually affects the noise or not, given how social media's whole thing is optimization towards virality
  7. Ariakwan: finally someone's addressing the root issue here, not just trying to ban teens from tiktok
  8. Echo Vesper: algorithms are basically just editors at this point anyway
  9. Silent Corvid: this sounds like real progress - what are the chances it's passed into law?
  10. Pale Kite: you'd think they'd start by forcing companies to clearly explain how their algorithms work
