Bill > HR5495

This bill, the Political BIAS Emails Act of 2023 or the Political Bias In Algorithm Sorting Emails Act of 2023, prohibits email service providers from using filtering algorithms to flag emails from political campaigns that consumers have elected to receive as spam. The bill requires email service providers to publish quarterly transparency reports detailing the number of political emails flagged as spam, the percentage of emails from Republican and Democratic candidates flagged, and the tools and techniques used for spam detection. Additionally, the bill requires email service providers to disclose certain information about political campaign emails to the campaigns upon request, and to provide best practices to help campaigns reach recipients' primary inboxes. The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with enforcing these provisions, which are considered unfair or deceptive acts or practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act.
