AI Summary
This bill, the Augmenting Compatibility and Competition by Enabling Service Switching Act of 2021 (ACCESS Act of 2021), aims to promote competition, lower entry barriers, and reduce switching costs for consumers and businesses online. It requires covered platforms (large online platforms that meet certain thresholds) to maintain transparent, third-party-accessible interfaces to enable the secure transfer of user data and facilitate interoperability with competing businesses. The bill also empowers the Federal Trade Commission to designate covered platforms, set technical standards, and enforce violations, which can result in civil penalties and other remedies.
