路透、彭博8日報導,澳洲工黨政府提出的這項草案,要求社群平台通知新、舊用戶,讓他們選擇動態消息預設的呈現方式,使用者可選擇同意預設由演算法推薦內容,也可以選擇關閉這項功能,只呈現自己追蹤的朋友或創作者發文。
澳洲總理艾班尼斯(Anthony Albanese)表示,「這是合理、務實而且可行的改革」,賦予使用者選擇權,若科技巨頭不遵守澳洲法律,將向其追究不作為的責任。
艾班尼斯指出,這項名為「我的動態,我作主」(My Feed, My Way)的措施,也要求數位平台記錄,針對已知可能傷害澳洲用戶的風險,進行了何種處置措施,並確保相關措施持續有效。違反規定者最高可被罰款1億920萬澳幣(約24億台幣)。
擁有「臉書」、Instagram和WhatsApp等平台的Meta公司拒絕評論此事。Alphabet旗下Google公司以及TikTok、Snap等公司尚未回應。
新草案也將賦予澳洲網路安全監管機構eSafety更多權力,可要求科技公司迅速移除有害、涉及裸露或非法內容。政府將徵詢科技業、民間團體等意見後,預期今年把法案送交國會審議。
言論自由提倡者警告,這項立法可能導致資訊審查。艾班尼斯表示,「重點並非賦予政府控制權,而是給民眾控制權」。
