The Federal Trade Commission must also adopt rules concerning deceptive advertising.</p> <p>A platform's chief executive officer or other senior officer must certify compliance with disclosure requirements.</p> <p>Additionally, platforms may not (1) employ algorithms or other design features that result in discrimination or similar harms based on demographic or biometric factors, or (2) process information such that it impairs voting rights. Further, users of a platform may not violate civil rights laws using the platform's algorithms.</p> <p>The bill prohibits waivers or other methods that limit rights under the bill; provides whistleblower protections for individuals who report violations; and authorizes enforcement by specified federal agencies, states, and private individuals.</p> <p>The bill also provides funding for an interagency task force to study the discriminatory use of personal information by platforms' algorithms.</p>
