Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that creators and digital workers, as a distinct and growing class of small businesses and independent economic contributors, deserve fair treatment, transparency, and economic opportunity in the modern platform-based economy.
This non-binding resolution expresses the House's support for creators and digital workers (over 10 million Americans earning income via platforms) who face challenges like misclassification as independent contractors, opaque revenue terms, and limited access to benefits. It calls for transparent revenue-sharing agreements, portable health care and retirement options, clearer platform algorithm policies, and protections against unfair account actions. The resolution does not create new laws but urges platforms and policymakers to address these issues. It focuses on concrete concerns like income volatility and lack of labor protections for this growing workforce.
