Bill overview
The DETOUR Act aims to protect consumers from deceptive and manipulative practices used by large online operators. It prohibits these operators from manipulating user interfaces to mislead users into providing personal information or consent, studying users without proper consent, designing addictive products, and targeting children without parental oversight. The bill also requires disclosures about behavioral research and establishes independent review boards to oversee such activities, promoting greater transparency and user control.
