Increased Transparency for Online Platforms and User Account Protection

New rules require online service providers to clearly disclose their acceptable use policies and reasons for account termination. Users will receive advance notice before their account is restricted, allowing them to understand the decision and potentially appeal. Companies will also publish annual reports detailing their enforcement actions.
Key points
Online platforms must clearly explain what actions can lead to account restriction and how they enforce their policies.
Users will receive written notice at least 7 days before account termination, including the reason and appeal options.
Companies will publish annual reports on the number of reported violations and actions taken, increasing accountability.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will enforce these regulations, protecting user rights.
