AI Summary
This bill, known as the Political BIAS Emails Act of 2022 or the Political Bias In Algorithm Sorting Emails Act of 2022, prohibits email service providers from using filtering algorithms to flag emails from political campaigns that consumers have chosen to receive as spam. The bill requires these providers to publish quarterly transparency reports detailing the number and percentage of political campaign emails, from both Republican and Democratic parties, that were flagged as spam by their algorithms. Additionally, the bill mandates that email service providers disclose certain information about their filtering practices to political campaigns upon request, and it grants the Federal Trade Commission the authority to enforce these provisions as unfair or deceptive acts or practices.
