New Internet Platform Rules: Free Speech and Accountability
This act changes how large internet platforms operate to ensure equal access to communication and protect free speech. It introduces new obligations for tech companies regarding transparency and non-discrimination, while also defining their responsibility for user content.
Key points
Large internet platforms (over 100 million users) must treat all users equally, without discrimination in service access.
Platforms must clearly disclose their content management policies, including how they moderate, promote, or terminate accounts.
Internet companies can remove content deemed obscene, violent, harassing, or unlawful, but must do so in good faith and according to published rules.
Users who feel harmed by violations of non-discrimination or transparency rules can sue platforms, and states can take legal action on behalf of their residents.
The act requires internet service providers to inform customers about available parental control tools to help protect children from inappropriate content.
