Bill > S4066

This bill, the PACT Act (Platform Accountability and Consumer Transparency Act), aims to enhance transparency and accountability for interactive computer service providers. The key provisions include: 1. Requiring providers to publish clear acceptable use policies, establish complaint systems, and issue quarterly transparency reports on content moderation actions. 2. Establishing a process for providers to respond to reports of illegal content or activity, with timelines for review and removal. 3. Authorizing the Federal Trade Commission to enforce the transparency and complaint processing requirements as unfair or deceptive practices. 4. Modifying Section 230 of the Communications Act to limit legal immunity for providers that fail to remove illegal content or activity after receiving proper notice. 5. Allowing state attorneys general to bring civil actions against providers for violations of federal civil laws. The bill also includes exemptions for small business providers and internet infrastructure services. Overall, the PACT Act seeks to balance consumer protections and provider discretion in content moderation on interactive online platforms.
