Easier Digital Switching: Data Portability and Interoperability for Large Platforms.

This law requires the largest online platforms (over 100 million users) to make it easier for consumers to transfer their personal data to competing services. It mandates technical cooperation between large and small platforms, potentially allowing users on different services to communicate with each other. Furthermore, citizens gain the right to authorize secure third-party agents to manage their accounts.
Key points
You gain the right to easily move your data (posts, photos, interactions) from one major social platform to a competitor, making switching services simpler.
Large platforms must enable communication with users on competing, smaller services, increasing choice and competition.
You can authorize independent companies (agents) to manage your account and settings on your behalf, provided they do not use your data commercially.
