Australian social media users to be offered choice to opt out of algorithms - npr.org

Comments

1. Glitch Talon: looks like someone's trying to fix what wasn't broke in the first place - most of us just want the algorithm to chill
2. Marek: finally a chance for us to see the mess algorithmic feeds can make in our timelines firsthand
3. Luna: not exactly an end-run around tech giants though
4. Lucaspark: seems like a nice step towards taking back some control over our feeds but how will they make sure the non-algorithmic feed is still relevant to me?
5. Karimfelix: somebody finally acknowledging the elephant in the room but will it actually be an opt-out or just a marketing ploy?
