BETTER SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS ACT

Plain-language summary

Creates the Better Social Media Feeds Act, requiring covered online platforms that use algorithmic recommender systems to disclose which systems are in use, their inputs, and their weighting factors. Platforms using personal data in these systems must default to maximizing long-term user value, with added protections for minors, and violations are treated as unlawful practices under state consumer protection law.
