Trump administration attacks Australia's 'opt-out' algorithm law in rare intervention

In an extremely uncommon move, the US government has publicly criticised an Australian government policy proposal.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in New York promoting Australian tech policies at the United Nations.

Not a defense of "Algorithmic Feeds" but imagine trying to use the TikTok "for you" page in chronological order.

not a tiktok person, but that's basically the normal way to use tumblr
people who use the "for you" page on there are considered weird (derogatory)
