Reported · Written up by our desk · Trade & Tariffs

Australia is considering legislation that would let social media users turn off algorithm based feeds, a move aimed at reducing the influence of Big Tech platforms, CNBC World reports.

The proposal adds to a growing set of global efforts to regulate how social media is delivered to users, shifting control away from automated content ranking systems, according to the report.
