> Australia has unveiled draft legislation requiring major social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram to let users disable algorithmic recommendations and see only posts from accounts they follow. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the plan would give control to users, while noncompliant companies could face fines of up to AU$100 million.
