Algorithm Accountability Act

HR 6266, the Algorithm Accountability Act, amends Section 230 of the Communications Act to require large social media platforms (with over 1 million users) to design recommendation algorithms with "reasonable care" to prevent foreseeable bodily injury or death. It removes Section 230 liability protection for platforms violating this duty, allowing victims to sue for damages in court. The law specifically targets algorithms that curate content based on user data (like likes or behavior), excluding chronological feeds and initial search results. It preserves stronger state laws and prohibits pre-litigation arbitration for these claims.
