1. **Australia’s New Social Media Regulations**
The Australian government plans to give users the right to turn off social media algorithms that push unsolicited content. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated the intention is to shift power from big tech companies to ordinary Australians. Platforms failing to provide opt-out options could face fines up to A$100 million (£53 million). Additional protections will target young users, shielding them from harmful content such as pornography and eating disorder promotion. While praised by some, opposition parties claim the move could amount to internet censorship and may provoke conflicts with tech firms and US policymakers.

However, public perception is the opposite, with many believing crime has risen. Figures like former US President Donald Trump have contributed to this misconception by falsely claiming a lawlessness in London. Although some crimes, such as shoplifting, have increased, overall violent crime is declining. The study highlights that perception gaps influence debates around crime, immigration, and national policy.
3. **Bhutan Eliminates Dog-Transmitted Rabies**
