US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
Summary
BBC reports that the US criticized Australia's proposed opt-out of social media algorithms, calling it censorship of protected speech. The submission warns that defining 'harm' too vaguely could lead to viewpoint-based censorship and affect global content, including independent journalists. Australian PM Albanese defends the policy as giving back control to individuals, while the US urges clarity and concerns about potential overreach.
