Australia could make social media algorithms optional and follow the UK in banning pornography that depicts strangulation, according to a parliamentary report.
Report Recommendations
The report, released by a parliamentary committee, suggests that social media platforms should allow users to opt out of algorithmic feeds and instead view content in chronological order. It also recommends that Australia adopt a ban on pornographic material showing strangulation, mirroring a measure already in place in the UK.
Potential Impact
If implemented, the changes would affect how Australians interact with social media and what content they can access online. The report's recommendations are now open for consideration by the government.
