What if you could turn off your algorithm? Australia is about to try

Australia's parliament is set to introduce new legislation on Thursday that would compel major technology companies to offer users the option to disable algorithms recommending content. This proposed law aims to give individuals more control over the content they see online. The legislation targets "big tech" companies, requiring them to provide this "off switch" functionality. The core of the bill is to allow users to opt out of algorithm-driven content recommendations.
