Episode Details

The government is pushing a bold new digital duty of care law to force social media giants to let users opt into algorithms—shifting from addictive content to user-controlled feeds. With $50 million fines and expanded powers for the online safety watchdog, the plan targets harmful content that pulls young men into extremist spaces.

Still, the government aims to export this model globally, while Foreign Affairs insists teaching respect for women isn’t radical—it’s essential for a safer internet.
