Australia plans to introduce legislation that would allow social media users to opt out of algorithm-based feeds, according to a report by CNBC.

The proposal would give users the ability to switch off the automated systems that platforms use to curate and prioritize content in their feeds, CNBC reported.

CNBC described the plan as the latest in a series of measures from Australian authorities that have placed pressure on major technology companies operating in the country.

Details on the specific scope of the legislation, its timeline for implementation, and which platforms would be affected were not fully outlined in the available reporting.

The move comes amid a broader global trend of governments seeking greater oversight of how social media platforms use algorithms to shape user experience and engagement.

CNBC's report did not specify reactions from technology companies or industry groups regarding the proposed opt-out option.
