Online Consumer Protection Act

This bill would require social media platforms and online marketplaces to create and share clear rules called "terms of service" that include a consumer protection policy. These rules would need to cover things like how payments work, who owns the content people post, how user content might be shared with others, what content or products are allowed, and how things can be blocked or removed. Social media platforms would also need to offer tools and support for users dealing with online harassment. Larger platforms and marketplaces — those making more than $250,000 a year or having more than 10,000 monthly users — would have to file yearly reports with the Federal Trade Commission, and the bill could be enforced by the commission, state attorneys general, or through private lawsuits.
