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.
It wants US social media companies excluded from digital duty of care laws, which would give Australians the option to opt out of algorithmic feeds.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in New York promoting Australian tech policies at the United Nations.
The US couped the Australian government because the PM threatened to cancel the lease for the US Pine Gap facility.
That’s gotta be on lawmakers’ minds now that the US is involving itself here.
The day after Albanese said he supported the USA abducting Maduro, I emailed his office suggesting if he did not denounce it, he would be eating his words. I’m feeling pretty smug today.
that was back in the 70’s and it would be surprising if it colored anyone’s behavior since then.
People are goldfish in your reality?
goldfish implies forgetfulness whereas westerners --americans in particular – are just made too unaware to ever have a chance to forget.
People are goldfish in this reality, lol. But information is also restricted/not disseminated as it should be.
American government never forgets a slight done to it no matter how long ago. Just “forgets” when it was something it has done to other nations.
it forgets when it’s convenient or profitable to do so.
It looks like I have some reading to do
