Proposed laws would give social media users a choice to opt out of algorithms, allowing for more control over their feeds. The legislation aims to provide users with tools to make genuine and enduring choices about the content they see. The proposed laws also include protections for children from harmful content, such as material that promotes eating disorders or causes serious mental health distress.

This move follows previous laws introduced to ban certain content from being accessed by young children. Further details about the proposed legislation are available, including comments from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the initiative to give users more control over their social media experience.
