AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL LAW -- GENERAL REGULATORY PROVISIONS -- DIGITAL PLATFORM TRANSPARENCY AND DEMOCRATIC INTEGRITY ACT

Summary

The bill adds a new chapter to Rhode Island’s commercial law that obligates platforms with over one million U.S. users to publicly explain the factors that determine what content users see, including any paid promotion or behavioral profiling. It also forces these platforms to detect and clearly label synthetic (AI‑generated) media and bans deceptive practices such as hiding algorithmic influence or allowing coordinated inauthentic behavior by foreign‑controlled entities.
