Transparency in Social Media Content Moderation Policies

New rules require social media platforms to clearly inform users about their content moderation practices. This means citizens will know what rules apply and why their posts might be removed or flagged. The aim is to help users make informed choices about using these services.
Key points
Social media platforms must publicly disclose their policies on removing, editing, or labeling content.
Users have the right to know why their content was modified and what options they have for redress.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will enforce these rules, protecting citizens from misleading information.
