Digital duty of care laws announced | ABC NEWS

Australians will be able to switch off their algorithms on social media under a plan unveiled by the federal government to give people more control over their feeds.

Labor's digital duty of care draft also requires online platforms to proactively prevent foreseeable harm to users.

Minister for Communications Anika Wells unveiled the proposed changes with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, saying the digital duty of care bill is the "next step forward" in requiring tech companies to "take responsibility for the harms their platforms are causing".
