Large online platforms would need to treat non-English content the same as English content.
This bill, called the LISTOS Act, would make sure big online companies handle content in other languages as carefully as they do English. It would require these companies to publish yearly reports about their content moderation staff and automated systems. It would also ensure non-English speakers get the same access to reporting tools and platform rules.
Today, online platforms often do not invest equally in moderating non-English content, leading to inconsistent enforcement of their rules and more harmful content in other languages. With this bill, large online platforms would be required to ensure their content moderation is consistent across all languages where they make money. They would also have to publish detailed annual reports on their moderation practices and ensure non-English users have the same access to reporting tools and platform rules. The Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general would gain new powers to enforce these requirements.
