Bill overview
The DETOUR Act aims to protect consumers, particularly children, from manipulative practices used by large online operators. It prohibits these operators from designing interfaces to mislead users into providing personal information or consent, studying user behavior without proper informed consent, and creating products that encourage compulsive usage. The bill also establishes a system for professional standards bodies to develop and promote best practices for online operator behavior, overseen by the Federal Trade Commission.
