Algorithmic Transparency and Choice Act

This bill would require online platforms that use personalized recommendation systems to give users under 18 who have accounts certain notices and choices, starting one year after it becomes law. Platforms would have to tell minors when a personalized recommendation system selects their content and explain in their terms and conditions how the system works, what data it uses, and what it is designed to optimize. Platforms would have to let minors switch to a feed that does not use their personal data unless they provide it for that purpose, make that feed the default, and let them limit types of recommendations. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the law, platforms would not have to disclose trade secrets or confidential information, and states could not enforce their own laws covering these requirements.
