    The Senate debated the Online Safety Amendment (Fix Our Feeds) Bill 2026, a Greens initiative aimed at amending the Online Safety Act 2021. The proposal sought to mandate that social media platforms allow users to opt out of algorithmic content curation and establish a broader digital duty of care for tech companies. Senator Hanson-Young argued that current business models are addictive and harmful, drawing parallels to the tobacco and gambling industries. The debate concluded with the motion for second reading being adjourned, with leave granted for the senator to continue remarks later.
