AI Summary
This bill, the Deceptive Experiences To Online Users Reduction Act (DETOUR Act), aims to prohibit large online operators (with more than 100 million authenticated users) from using exploitative and deceptive practices that obscure, subvert, or impair user autonomy, decision-making, and choice. Key provisions include requiring large online operators to obtain affirmative express consent from users before engaging in certain research or design practices, establishing independent review boards to oversee such research, and mandating disclosures to users about covered research. The bill also directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop resources on user interface and user experience design to support user autonomy and choice. The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with enforcing the bill's provisions as unfair or deceptive acts or practices.
