Bill > S66

This bill, called the "Transparency in Bureaucratic Communications Act", amends the Inspector General Act of 1978 to require Inspectors General (IGs) to provide detailed reports to Congress about their agencies' communications with social media and internet platforms. Specifically, the bill mandates that IGs must now include a comprehensive description of any communications or attempted communications with internet computer services, content providers, or access software providers. These reports must cover a wide range of interactions, including discussions about content moderation, user-generated content like posts and photos, and technical details about the platforms' data processing methods such as algorithms, modeling processes, and analysis tools. The bill aims to increase transparency by compelling IGs to disclose the nature and extent of government interactions with digital platforms, potentially revealing how federal agencies engage with and potentially influence online communication and content management.
