Aussie authors impacted, @nikkythewriter.com mentioned that the Australian Society of Authors has a form you can fill in before they approach our government about it.
UK/ EU authors, @rhiannonagrist.bsky.social would like know if you guys have anyone taking action on your behalf.

Great stuff, taking freedom of information away from our children is not protecting them.

That is true! Let's hope it does remain the most important factor though

I wish they weren't taking booktok into account but unfortunately, in the YA market I feel it's not just about the quality of writing anymore, but also about how marketable it is in social platforms 🤔

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Verse novels aren't as strong in Aus as tge US so our courses are very limited

Do you feel that good literature is being overlooked in preference of viral literaature? ie- something likely to trend on Booktok is chosen of great writing?
