Algorithmic Justice and Online Platform Transparency Act

The Algorithmic Justice and Online Platform Transparency Act requires major online platforms to be transparent about how their algorithms use personal information to recommend content, moderate content, and target advertisements. Platforms must disclose what data they collect, how algorithms prioritize content, and provide annual transparency reports showing how content moderation affects different demographic groups. The law prohibits algorithms from discriminating in housing, employment, credit, and other opportunities based on protected characteristics like race, gender, or disability. It also establishes an advertising library showing who saw what ads and requires platforms to allow users to easily transfer their data to other platforms.
