TLDR Act
The TLDR Act requires major online platforms (excluding small businesses) to provide simplified, accessible summaries of their terms of service. These summaries must appear at the top of terms pages and include key details like how sensitive data (e.g., health info, location, financial details) is handled, legal liabilities, data breach history, and interactive links to full terms. Platforms must also display data-sharing flow diagrams and make full terms searchable in an interactive format. The Federal Trade Commission enforces these rules as part of its authority over deceptive practices, with states able to sue for violations affecting residents.
