Australia Proposes Legislation Allowing Social Media Users to Opt Out of Algorithms

Australia released draft legislation under its Digital Duty of Care initiative allowing social media users to choose feeds without algorithm-prescribed content.

The 'My Feed, My Way' initiative will require tech platforms to send pop-up messages to users offering choices between personalised and non-algorithmic feeds.

Non-compliance with the proposed online safety rules may attract fines of up to $79 million (₹750 crore).
