AI Summary
This bill, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act, aims to prohibit certain discriminatory conduct by large online platforms designated as "covered platforms." The bill defines key terms such as "covered platform," "business user," and "critical trading partner," and outlines a range of unlawful conduct, including preferencing the platform operator's own products and services, restricting interoperability, and using non-public data to compete with business users. The bill provides affirmative defenses for certain conduct and grants enforcement authority to the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, and state attorneys general. The bill also requires the issuance of enforcement guidelines and allows for judicial review of platform designations.
