White House warns action against Albanese’s social media crackdown

Washington is warning it will protest the Albanese government’s crackdown on social media algorithms. This comes as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese prepares to meet US President Donald Trump in two weeks. A White House spokesperson says President Trump has “unequivocally warned” its trading partners against imposing taxes or fines on America’s technology sector. Labor’s proposed law will give Australians the choice to opt out of having social media feeds driven by addictive algorithms.
