AI Summary
This bill aims to amend Section 230(c) of the Communications Act of 1934 to prevent interactive computer services (such as social media platforms) from claiming immunity for certain claims involving their use of algorithms, models, or other computational processes to rank, order, promote, recommend, amplify, or alter the delivery or display of information to users. The bill creates an exception where the information delivery or display is ranked, ordered, promoted, etc. in a way that is obvious, understandable, and transparent to a reasonable user, or if the algorithm is used for information the user specifically searches for. The bill also provides exemptions for small businesses and internet infrastructure providers.
