澳大利亚政府正推动要求社交媒体平台允许青少年选择退出算法内容推荐系统，这是在该国今年早些时候生效的全球首创的16岁以下儿童社交媒体账户禁令基础上的延伸。该提案将允许仍有资格使用平台的青少年选择按时间顺序排列、非算法的信息流，而非以提高参与度为目标优化的推荐内容。
官员和网络安全倡导者一直认为，旨在最大化用户在平台上停留时间的推荐算法可能将青少年推向有害内容，包括与自残、饮食失调和极端政治内容相关的材料。此举正值澳大利亚电子安全专员持续执行16岁以下禁令之际，该禁令已迫使Instagram、TikTok、Snapchat和YouTube等主要平台建立年龄验证系统，其他国家也在关注澳大利亚的做法，将其视为针对未成年人算法推荐系统监管的潜在模式。
