Australia plans to regulate social media algorithms
Australia is planning to introduce new legislation that will give social media users over the age of 16 tools to control the algorithms that determine the content displayed on their pages. The legislation aims to protect children from content promoting eating disorders, crime, and dangerous activities, while holding platform companies accountable to ensure they provide genuine and sustainable options for users to select the content they see. Penalties of up to 109.2 million Australian dollars will be imposed on violators, with platforms required to offer options to specify the types of content that appear by default.
