Nice. Someone please tell them they can already do that. It’s called the Fediverse.

Am I the only one who thinks big tech won’t do jack shit other than nod and smile and install a user button that doesn’t actually change anything at all? They are so NOT going to turn this off. This – the ability to manipulate users by controlling exactly what they see – is the sole reason they are in business. It gets them ad revenue, data to resell, and massive, uncontrollable political power. And they’re just going to let a user turn that highly individualized control off and turn themselves into a less monetizable, more ad immune user one by one because some govt told them to? The same governments that have been telling them not to do this or that for decades now? Lol, pull the other one.

I’ve been saying this for a while. Of course, our right wing nut jobs won’t vote for it because they need rage bait to get votes (and normal people don’t post rage bait). If this passes, Australia will turn sane again

Hmm, honestly. If you didn’t like it, just block it and replace.

Damn, first legitimately good thing I’ve seen come out of that country in a while as far as legislation is concerned.

I mean, this is pretty good in theory, in practice, we can just move more people to the fediverse

Don’t pretty much all Social Media have a chronological „Following“ feed already? Methinks they’re just going to argue that switching to that feed is „turning off“ the „algorithm“, no?

I’d like to shut off fhe algorithms forcing me to see right wing transphobia on facebroach

Algorithm: a specific step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end Software is full of algorithms. I know there is also the recent meaning where “algorithm” stands for recommender systems and algorithmic curation, but I expect lawmakers to be a little more precise in their wording.
