Episode Details

Australia’s bold new digital duty of care rules aim to give users control over algorithmic feeds, with fines for non-compliance—marking a major push to regulate big tech and shield people from harmful content. Not the first time Canberra’s clashed with Silicon Valley: past moves like banning under-16 social media use and forcing platforms to pay news outlets already sparked global friction, including from Trump’s administration. Now, supporters hail the legislation as essential user empowerment akin to product safety standards, while critics warn of censorship and Orwellian overreach. With Prime Minister Albanese set to meet Trump at the UN, tensions could rise—but Australia remains resolute, betting its approach will inspire global action against social media’s darker side.
