How could new laws in the EU and Australia change your social media feed?

Both proposals would give people and parents more say over whether algorithmic recommendations shape the default feed.

1. The EU Kids Act is a proposal: under-13 accounts would be banned and ages 13–14 could use supervised, time-limited mini accounts.
2. Australia’s draft would let users choose a personalized feed or a follows-only default.
3. Parents should look for age-appropriate settings, time limits, and recommendation controls rather than relying on one blanket switch.
4. Platforms would face broader design duties and substantial penalties, but legislative language can change before enactment.
