Australia gives users control over feeds with opt-out option

Australia proposes the 'My Feed, My Way' rule to force platforms to let users 16+ choose between an algorithmic, personalized feed or a non-algorithmic feed showing only content from followed accounts, with penalties up to AU$109.2 million for noncompliance; the bill also targets protective measures for under-18s from addictive features, as regulators press back against Big Tech amid recent settlements such as Meta's $18 billion case.
