What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- How social media companies will implement the opt-out mechanism technically.
- When the bill will be introduced and debated in parliament.
- Whether draft legislation, an official announcement or another primary document confirms the proposal.
- Whether disabling algorithmic feeds would necessarily produce a chronological feed.
- Which services and users would be covered, and whether any exceptions would apply.
