The measure, met with broad support among Sydney residents, does not abolish algorithmic feeds but challenges the assumption that they should be the invisible, unquestioned default. It is, at its core, a question about who holds agency in the attention economy — the platform or the person — and Australia's answer may echo far beyond its own borders.
