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.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in New York promoting Australian tech policies at the United Nations.
