Bill overview
This bill, the Break Up Big Tech Act of 2020, aims to hold large technology companies accountable for how they use user data to target advertising. It modifies Section 230 of the Communications Act, removing a key legal shield that protects these companies from liability for certain data practices. Specifically, it restricts their ability to sell personalized ads based on user information and to use designs intended to be addictive. The bill also addresses how social media platforms display user-generated content.
