VIDEO: Greens demand algorithm changes to combat big tech

The Australian Greens are demanding changes to algorithms used by big tech companies to combat their influence. This call to action is part of a broader effort to regulate and hold accountable large technology firms. The Greens are advocating for transparency and accountability in how these algorithms operate, particularly in regards to their impact on society and democracy.

This development matters for social commerce as algorithm changes could significantly affect how products and services are discovered and promoted on social media platforms. If implemented, such changes could lead to a more equitable and transparent online marketplace, potentially altering the dynamics of social commerce and influencer marketing in Australia.
