This article makes it seem like they will try to force Google and Facebook to share algorithms, but it doesn't look like that to me in the report: https://www.accc.gov.au/system/files/Digital%20platforms%20inquiry%20-%20final%20report.pdf https://www.accc.gov.au/system/files/Digital%20platforms%20i... From my read most of it is basically a copy of GDPR. The parts related to algorithm and data transparency where basically: * Content sites suddenly drop in search rankings creating huge revenue drops. They want to force content aggregators to give ample warning before pushing changes which would influence content creators cash flow. * SEO is expensive. They want Google and Facebook to make it easier for them. * Content sites doesn't like AMP since its requirements limits the number of ads they can put on the site and it makes it hard for them to track their users. They want Google to share more user data to make up for it. In my view these concerns are mostly fine and are unlikely to make a dent in Google or Facebook. I think the most interesting point is this: * Amend the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 so that unfair contract terms are prohibited (not just voidable). This would mean that civil pecuniary penalties apply to the use of unfair contract terms in any standard form consumer or small business contract. That might actually help news sites in a fair way, contracts like "Google might display snippets from my site for free because otherwise it hurts my bottom line" will probably result in fines for Google.
