AI Summary

This bill, the Deceptive Experiences To Online Users Reduction Act (DETOUR Act), aims to prohibit large online operators (those with over 100 million authenticated users) from using exploitative and deceptive practices that subvert or impair user autonomy, decision-making, or choice in order to obtain user consent or data. It requires large online operators to establish independent review boards to oversee any behavioral or psychological research on users, disclose such research, and obtain informed consent from users. The bill also allows for the creation of a professional standards body to develop guidance on technology design and development practices. The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with enforcing the provisions of the bill.
