WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — Senator John Thune has been working hard to make the internet safer and more transparent.
Thune applauded the Senate Commerce Committee’s unanimous passage of his bipartisan Filter Bubble Transparency Act, which was included in a larger bill to address kids’ safety on the internet.
Thune’s bill would make it easier for internet platform users to understand the potential manipulation that exists with secret algorithms and require large-scale platforms to allow those users to consume information outside of that potential manipulation zone or “filter bubble.”
