Primary sponsor: Steven Sainz (5 total sponsors)
Last action: House Second Readers (Feb. 8, 2023)

Category:
Societal Impact
Data Governance
System Integrity (see reasoning)

The text mainly revolves around the prohibition of censorship by social media platforms and the establishment of regulations surrounding their operations. The emphasis on censorship and user expression connects significantly to the effects of AI determinations on social media content, addressing algorithm-driven content visibility and behavior moderation. This falls squarely within the scope of the Social Impact category as it deals with issues like misinformation, public discourse, and rights related to automated moderation by AI systems.
