The irony that the US wouldn't allow Chinese-based social media algorithms to run in the US but they think they have any right to the social media policies put forward by another country. As always, Trump can go fuck himself in his cunt box.

Rare intervention? From the country that messes with everything and everyone all the time? About as rare as sand in Egypt.

Which is hilarious because I've heard almost nothing but universal praise and "will we get it too?" from regular users...

I think I'll take this as proof that it's a structured and intentional attack against the proletariat, rather than just an unfortunate outcome of the "get everyone addicted" incentives of capitalism. Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but they want you stupid and controlled. They'll fight anything that give you more agency or choice.

"The US government would likely consider such a measure as facilitating censorship," the submission said."

The irony of this being said in the same week Trump has banned several news organisations from White House press briefings.

This is such an asinine stretch and holy moly I think this is one of the biggest admissions of big tech's true intentions to date, not that we didn't already know this.

The United States is so blatantly corrupt. Controlled by big tech. An algorithm off switch kills social media's black box of manipulation and they know it.

I pray that Australia holds strong and enacts this. I cannot wait to see the data on mental health effects in those with algorithmic and non-algorithmic feeds.

I cannot wait for this. Genuinely going to add it in my calendar haha

rare?

Ignore Trump and carry on

The PM's name being "Albanese" really confused me for a moment there, when the article talked about Albanese government

not sure how enforcing chronological feed would constitute censorship, if anything the algorithm deciding what you see is more censored

This illustrates who has bought and paid for the Trump administration.

Comically, it doesn't say anything about tariffs. Obviously Don not too invested in this one.

Fuck… I’d love that in the US

It put a number of questions to the Australian government, including how Australia would define "harm" and "risks"

USA proving they don't even understand the law.

Yeah.. That's because we have far-right wing dipshits scaremongering all over facebook at the moment, and, they rely on the rage bait to generate attention.

Nobody would willingly subscribe to One nation bot farms, anti-vax wankers, or all the bullshit about how great petrol and coal is.

I wanna make a joke here, going with my username. But i just fucking can’t anymore.
