Algorithmic Justice and Online Platform Transparency Act

The Algorithmic Justice and Online Platform Transparency Act requires major online platforms to disclose how they use personal information in algorithmic processes that recommend content, moderate posts, and target advertisements. Platforms must provide transparent notices to users about data collection and use, publish annual transparency reports showing content moderation decisions broken down by demographic information, and maintain an accessible advertisement library showing targeted ads. The bill prohibits algorithms from discriminating in housing, employment, credit, and education opportunities based on protected characteristics like race, gender, or disability. It establishes an interagency task force to study discriminatory algorithmic practices and empowers the Federal Trade Commission to enforce these requirements.
