Australia's algorithm choice plan makes feed design a compliance job
Draft rules would make feed defaults, opt outs, and recommender explanations part of platform compliance.
- Treat feed choice as a governed product flow: notice, default, selection, change history, and user explanation.
- Do not describe the proposal as an algorithm ban; it requires user choice between personalised and follow-only feeds.
- Track the final bill before assigning deadlines; reporting identifies a proposal, not an enforceable compliance date.
