Australians could soon have more control over what they see on social media, with Labor’s plan to crack down on social media Algorithms.

Proposed laws would create a digital duty of care for social media users in Australia, let users opt out of algorithm-driven feeds, which critics say can amplify harmful content.

The changes are aimed at giving people greater choice over how social media platforms shape what they see, with the draft legislation set to be released by Communication Minister Anika Wells, later this week.
